A gipsysol (GY) can be defined through :
- a gypsic or petrogypsic horizon within 100 cm from the soil surface
or :
- 15 percent (by volume) or more gypsum, which has accumulated under hydromorphic conditions, averaged over a depth of 100 cm; and
no diagnostic horizons other than an ochric or cambic horizon, an argic horizon permeated with gypsum or calcium carbonate, a vertic, calcic or petrocalcic horizon underlying the gypsic horizon
