orthents

Entisols that have either textures of very fine sand or finer in the fine earth fraction, or textures of loamy fine sand or coarser and a coarse fragment content of 35% or more and that have an organic carbon content that decreases regularly with depth. Orthents are not saturated with water for periods long enough to limit their use for most crops.
