Dutch term

eerdgrond

Dutch to English Science Geology soil classification
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 groups also has subgroups, but I don’t know yeet 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 wiht knowledge of the field. Any suggestions or tips sending me in the right direction will be much appreciated.
eerdgrond = anthrosol?

Anthrosols (AT)
The Reference Soil Group of the Anthrosols holds soils that were formed or profoundly modified through human activities such as addition of organic materials or household wastes, irrigation or cultivation. The group includes soils otherwise known as `Plaggen soils', `Paddy soils', `Oasis soils' and `Terra Preta do Indio'.
