What does PODSOL mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A pale, acidic, infertile soil with an ash-grey layer near the surface, formed in cool wet climates under conifer forest or heath.
The name comes from Russian, where it describes the grey, ash-like layer that appears when rain washes minerals out of the upper soil. Podsol forms mainly under pine and spruce in northern regions, and farmers find it poor without heavy treatment. The same soil is more often spelled podzol in modern writing, and the two are the same thing.
