Translocation is the process in soil science where materials, including minerals and organic matter, are moved from one horizon (layer) to another within the soil profile. Specifically, it refers to the movement from the A horizon (topsoil) to the B horizon (subsoil), often through water movement. This process can lead to the development of distinct soil layers with different characteristics.
