Description of soil BCDERg~~~~N (DEERHOLME)

General Characteristics
Classification DU.DYB

Duric Dystric Brunisol

Profile Native soil profile

The soil is in native condition (undisturbed by agriculture).

Kind of material Mineral

The soil material is primarily composed of mineral particles.

Water table Never

The water table is not present in the soil at any time.

Root restrictions Eighth layer

The growth of plant roots is restricted by the eighth layer.

Type of root restricting layer Duric

Duric horizon

Drainage Well drained

Water is removed from the soil readily but not rapidly. Excess water flows downward readily into underlying pervious material or laterally as subsurface flow. Soils have intermediate available water storage capacity (4-5 cm) within the control section, and are generally intermediate in texture and depth. Water source is precipitation. On slopes subsurface flow may occur for short durations, but additions are equaled by losses.

Parent Materials
Mode of Deposition Texture Chemical properties
Uppermost Fluvial

These sediments generally consist of gravel and sand with a minor fraction of silt and rarely of clay. The gravels are typically rounded and contain interstitial sand.

Very Coarse

Very Coarse (USDA Texture Classes: VCS,CS,S,GS,CBS).

Extremely / Strongly Acidic

pH < 5.6

Below Till (Morainal)

Morainal material (till) deposited by glacial ice: a mixture of boulders, sand, silt, and clay.

Very Coarse

Very Coarse (USDA Texture Classes: VCS,CS,S,GS,CBS).

Extremely / Strongly Acidic

pH < 5.6
