Gleysation is the process that occurs in cold and wet climates with poor drainage conditions. This process results in an accumulation of humus over a thick,water saturated layer of clay. The soil has a gray-blue color due to the reduction of iron, and there is limited soil structure due to the water saturation. This type of soil is commonly found in wetlands and bogs.
