The name of Lixisol (IUSS Working Group in World reference base for soil resources 2014, 203 p, 2015) is derived from the Latin “lixivia” meaning washed out substances and strongly weathered soils, in which clays are leached/migrated to an argic B horizon with moderate to high base saturation. These soils are generally observed in tropical, subtropical, or warm temperate climates with a pronounced dry season, notably on old eroded or deposited surfaces.
