Vertisol pélico: Son suelos muy arcillosos, frecuentemente negros o gris oscuro, pegajosos cuando están húmedos y muy duros cuando secos. A veces son salinos, casi siempre muy fértiles, aunque presentan ciertos problemas para su manejo, ya que la dureza dificulta su labranza, con frecuencia presenta problema de inundación y de drenaje interno. Textura gruesa y fase gravosa. Este tipo de suelo es el que se encuentra en el sitio del proyecto.

gravel phase
gravosa > adj. gravel
fase > phase
A phase is a form of matter that is homogeneous in chemical composition and physical state. Typical phases are solid, liquid and gas. Two immiscible liquids (or liquid mixtures with different compositions) separated by a distinct boundary are counted as two different phases, as are two immiscible solids.

The Lafayette consists mainly of gravel, sand, and a little clay. The gravel phase is mainly chert with small amounts of quartzite and limestone.

USDA/NRCS Soil Survey Manual - Chapter Two
This is one of the main references for soil science & agricultural soil evaluation, at least in the US. The entire Manual is available free online, in chunks.
Example sentence:
Rock fragments at the surface and in the surface layer are commonly used as phase distinctions.
A slightly gravelly phase can be recognized for soils that are used for special purposes, such as growing turf.
