Description of soil PEZDS~~~~~N (Dune Sand)
Classification | -.- |
---|---|
Profile | Native soil profile The soil is in native condition (undisturbed by agriculture). |
Kind of material | Unclassified This material was not classified due to an absence of information or an unusual situation, such as rockland or an extremely shallow soil. |
Water table | Never The water table is not present in the soil at any time. |
Root restrictions | No root restricting layer The growth of plant roots is not restricted by any soil layer. |
Type of root restricting layer | n/a Not Applicable |
Drainage | Very rapidly drained Water is removed from the soil very rapidly in relation to supply. Excess water flows downward very rapidly if underlying material is pervious. There may be very rapid subsurface flow during heavy rainfall provided there is a steep gradient. Soils have very low available water storage capacity (usually less than 2.5 cm) within the control section and are usually coarse textured, or shallow, or both. Water source is precipitation. |
Mode of Deposition | Texture | Chemical properties |
---|---|---|
Eolian Eolian material deposited by wind: uniform deposit of very fine sand and silt. |
