Comment This is a pedological term for a major soil order. Cryosols are divided into three groups: 1. organic cryosols developed in organic (peat) materials; 2. static cryosols developed in mineral soils and showing little or no evidence of cryoturbation; 3. turbic cryosols developed in mineral soils and showing strong evidence of cryoturbation. en
