Etymology

From histo- (“tissue”) +? -sol (“soil”).

histosol (plural histosols)

1. (soil science) A soil comprised primarily of organic materials.
   • 1989, Donald Steila, Thomas E. Pond, The Geography of Soils: Formation, Distribution, and Management, 2nd Edition, page 173,

     Unlike other soil orders, Histosols are not considered primarily mineral, but organic. They are commonly called bog, moor, peat, or muck; they are last in the list of soil orders, last in areal importance, and have been given the least amount of attention in the more recent soil classification systems. […] Histosols are more than 12 to 18 percent organic carbon by weight (depending on the clay content of the mineral fraction and the kind of materials) and well over half organic matter by volume. Unless drained, most Histosols are saturated or nearly saturated with water a large portion of the year.

Synonyms

• organosol, peat
