Roots did not penetrate the ortstein horizons but most ortste- in clods were permeable to water, with saturated hydraulic conductivities ranging from about 0.1 to 31 cm/h. the unconfined compression strength of dry or moist ortstein clods usually exceeded 5 kg/cm2 and this is suggested as a limit to aid in separating weakly cemented materials from ortstein. The general enviroenment of ortstein and its significance as related to land use are discussed.  aphysical properties  aSolo  aMaritime Provinces  aMorfologia  aMorphology  aOrtstein soils  aPropriedade fisica1 aBEKE, G.
