DEFINITION

  • Fluvisols accommodate genetically young soils in fluvial, lacustrine or marine deposits. Despite their name, Fluvisols are not restricted to river sediments (Latin fluvius, river); they also occur in lacustrine and marine deposits. Many Fluvisols correlate with Alluvial soils (Russia), Stratic Rudosols (Australia), Fluvents (United States of America), Auenböden (Germany), Neossolos (Brazil), and Sols minéraux bruts d’apport alluvial ou colluvial or Sols peu évolués non climatiques d’apport alluvial ou colluvial 158 World reference base for soil resources 2014 (France). The position of Fluvisols in the key was changed several times during history of FAO and WRB classification systems. The current 3rd edition of WRB puts them further down and shifts some former Fluvisols to other RSGs, especially to Solonchaks and Gleysols.
