Contents
Description
Mineral material (from Celtic mine, mineral), the soil properties are dominated by mineral components.
Diagnostic criteria
Mineral material has one or both of the following :
- less than 20 percent organic carbon in the fine earth (by mass) if saturated with water for less than 30 consecutive days in most years without being drained
or :
- less than (12 + [clay percentage of the mineral fraction × 0.1]) percent organic carbon in the fine earth (by mass)
or :
- less than 18 percent organic carbon in the fine earth (by mass), if the mineral fraction has 60 percent or more clay
