Most specific unit, defined by specific soil properties involving kind, thickness, and arrangement of horizons
Falls into a particular family if at specific depths they have the same physical and chemical properties affecting plant growth
properties that are similar or transitional found in other soil orders, suborders or great groups

Controlled by major environmental factors such as moisture and temperature regimes soils are dominantly found under
Soil properties that reflect major course of development, with an emphasis on the presence or absence of major diagnostic horizon
