Application of chemical criteria of the spodic horizon to 220 Podzolic pedons from Canada excluded 157 of them from Spodosols. Failure of approximately 60% to meet the required ratio (0.2) of pyrophosphate-extractable (Fe + Al) to clay was the principal factor. The requirement that at least one-half of the dithionite-citrate extractable (Fe + Al) be extractable by pyrophosphate was not met by approximately 40% of the Podzolic pedons. Modified chemical criteria for the spodic horizons are proposed.
