Science - Geology / soil classification
Dutch term or phrase: vaaggrond
It concerns the legend of a soil map. It contains many different soil types coming from the "Systeem voor bodemclassificatie voor Nederland". I’m looking for equivalents from the World Reference Base for Soil Resources (not from the USDA classification system). There are a couple of main groups for which I would like to find an equivalent. Each main group also has subgroups, but I don’t know yet what to do with them. I’ll be placing a couple of questions relating to this subject.
I have found terms for the main groups, but would like to have them confirmed or rejected by somebody with knowledge of the field. Any suggestions or tips sending me in the right direction will be much appreciated.
The soil map is part of a report relating to an evaluation of the presence of archaeological values in a future construction area
Vaaggrond = umbrisol?

"Sibirtzev, leerling van
Dokoejajev, gaf de drie bodemtypen hun definitieve benaming, nl.:
- zonale bodem: een bodem waarvan de ontwikkeling en de eigenschappen in
overeenkomst zijn met klimaat, vegetatie en moedergesteente.
- intrazonale bodem: een overgangsbodem, waarbij één der bodemvormende factoren
de andere sterk overheerst.
- azonale bodem: een bodem die nog niet voldoende ontwikkeld is om in één van de
twee bovenstaande klassen te worden ingedeeld." (http://toa.vimb.nl/biothema/images/pdf/deel4.pdf)

"Vaag (in vaaggrond). Gebruikt in de betekenis van onbepaald, onduidelijk.
Daarom toegepast op gronden met de minst duidelijke bodemvorming." (Bodemkaart Van Nederland, Uitgave 1980)

"Orde V: de vaaggronden. Dit zijn gronden waarin na de sedimentatie (nog) geen bodemvormende processen hebben plaatsgevonden. In een vaaggrond ontbreekt dus een B-horizont (want er heeft geen in- of uitspoeling plaatsgevonden). De vaaggronden nemen de plaats in van het grootste deel van de 'kleigronden' (zowel zee- als rivierkleigronden) uit oudere bodemclassificaties. Ook behoren enkele zandgronden ertoe."

It's been a while, but it seems that my translation is now in IATE:
