The following horizons are in a single pedon, assign the correct horizon designation to each horizon: 1. Yellowish brown (10yr 5/4) fine sandy loam; weak fine granular structure; very friable; common fine roots; few fine pores; 2% black concretion; moderately acid; abrupt smooth boundary. 2. Strong brown (7.5yr 5/6) loam; weak fine sub-angular blocky structure; friable; few fine roots and pores; 5% concretions; few faint clay films on faces of peds; strongly acid; clear wavy boundary. 3. Strong brown (7.5yr 5/6) clay loam; moderate medium sub-angular blocky structure; friable; few fine rootseand pores; common distinct clay films on faces of peds; 5% black concretions; strong acid; clear wavy boundary. 4. Yellowish brown (10yr 5/6) sandy clay loam, moderate medium sub-angular blocky structure; few fine roots and pores; common distinct clay films on faces of peds; 3% black concretions; very strong acid; clear wavy boundary. 5. Brownish yellow (10yr 6/8) sandy clay loam; common medium prominent yellowish red (5yr 4/6) mottles; weak fine sub-angular blocky structure; friable; very strongly acid.
