3.3 Les sols bruns lessivés
Ce sont les grands sols de culture du Santerre. Ce sont primitivement des sols bruns qui ont subi une décalcification importante qui a déstabilisé les complexes argilo-humiques. L'argile est entraînée en profondeur. Le profil comprend un horizon humifère à mull légèrement acide (pH=5-6) non calcaire, un horizon appauvri en argile (horizon E) brun clair, un horizon enrichi en argile plus foncé (horizon Bt), à la base la roche-mère limoneuse présentant des précipitations de carbonates provenant du lessivage supérieur.
Ces luvisols sont des sols profonds favorables aux grandes cultures à condition d'apporter un amendement calcique sous forme de craie broyée d'origine locale ou de carbonate de calcium industriel.

humic soil horizon
I found ''humic soil horizon'' used for ''horizon humifère'' in this document (but cannot copy and paste):
http://popups.ulg.ac.be/Geol/docannexe.php?id=1742
Also, humic soil = sol humifère according to this dictionary:
http://books.google.com/books?id=bgFAR2Qp51sC&pg=PA236&lpg=P...
''Humic soil horizon'' is given as the translation for ''horizon humifère'' in this text:
Palaeomagnetic and rock magnetic properties of loess-palaeosol sequences in Belgium
Résumé
RESUME. L'étude paléomagnétique de plusieurs coupes dans la couverture loessique de la Belgique a mis en évidence la présence dans ces terrains d'une aimantation rémanente stable qui témoigne du comportement du champ géomagnétique ancien. Aucune magnétozone négative n'y a été retrouvée, ce qui indique que les sections examinées appartiennent à la période de Brunhes, et l'on n'a pas plus détecté d'événements de courte durée. Les importantes déviations mises en évidence doivent être attribuées à des fentes de gel, de la solifluction ou à d'autres activités périglaciaires. Contrairement à ce qui a été trouvé en Europe Centrale et de l'Est et en Asie, on ne voit aucun renforcement des caractéristiques magnétiques dans les sols, si ce n'est dans l'HORIZON HUMIFÈRE surmontant le sol de Rocourt. Ce contraste des propriétés magnétiques, observé à Tongrinne et à Rocourt, est du principalement à la présence de minéraux d'origine volcanique.
Abstract
ABSTRACT. Palaeomagnetic investigation of several sections in the loess cover of Belgium proves that they contain a stable remanent magnetization reflecting ancient field behaviour. Reversed magnetozones could not be detected so far indicating that the examined sections belong to the Brunhes Chron. Also short-term reversals seem not to be present and large directional deviations can be attributed to frost wedging, solifluction and other periglacial activities. In contrast with Central and Eastern Europe and Asia, soil magnetic enhancement is absent except for the HUMIC SOIL HORIZON overlying the Rocourt soil. The strong magnetic properties in this horizon revealed in Tongrinne and Rocourt are mainly due to the presence of minerals of volcanic origin.
