Description of soil NSZRL~~~~~N (Rockland)

General Characteristics
Classification -.-

Not Applicable

Profile Native soil profile

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

Kind of material True Non-soil

This is a true non-soil (e.g. airport or lake).

Water table Not applicable

Not applicable.

Root restrictions Third layer

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

Type of root restricting layer Lithic

Lithic (consolidated bedrock)

Drainage Rapidly drained

Water is removed from the soil rapidly in relation to supply. Excess water flows downward if underlying material is pervious. Subsurface flow may occur on steep gradients during heavy rainfall. Soils have low available water storage capacity (2.5-4 cm) within the control section, and are usually coarse textured, or shallow, or both. Water source is precipitation.

Parent Materials
Mode of Deposition Texture Chemical properties
Till (Morainal)

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

Medium

Medium (USDA Texture Classes: VFSL,L,SIL,SI,GL,GSIL).

Extremely / Strongly Acidic

pH < 5.6
