ochrepts
Inceptisols formed in cold or temperate climates and that commonly have an ochric epipedon and a cambic horizon. They may have an umbric or mollic epipedon <25 cm thick or a fragipan or duripan under certain conditions. These soils are not dominated by amorphous materials and are not saturated with water for periods long enough to limit their use for most crops.
