[edit] Welding

The process by which buried top soil horizons become incoporated (welded) into the lower horizons of a soil profile at the new ground surface. The welded buried soil will take on the characteristics of a sub-soil horizon but may retain some of those characteristics consistent with its history as a top soil.
