  "definition": "The albic horizon is an eluvial horizon, 1.0 cm or more thick, that has 85 percent or more (by volume) albic materials. It generally occurs below an A horizon but may be at the mineral soil surface. Under the albic horizon there generally is an argillic, cambic, kandic, natric, or spodic horizon or a fragipan (defined below). The albic horizon may lie between a spodic horizon and either a fragipan or an argillic horizon, or it may be between an argillic or kandic horizon and a fragipan. It may lie between a mollic epipedon and an argillic or natric horizon or between a cambic horizon and an argillic, kandic, or natric horizon or a fragipan.",
