Introduction to Soil Science / Soil Horizons
"Soil horizons are layers used to describe the major processes occurring within a soil profile. Not every soil contains every horizon, and a profile may contain multiple horizons of the same general type. Horizon designations help identify differences in development, materials, structure, color, and other properties."
