Podzolization is the pedogenic regime associated with Podzolic soils. This process occurs in areas with high rainfall and acidic parent material, leading to leaching of minerals such as iron and aluminum from the soil surface and accumulation in lower layers. This creates a distinctive soil profile with an iron-enriched subsoil layer and an ash-gray surface layer known as the E horizon.
