Description of soil QCBUX20000A (BOTREAUX)
Classification | O.HG |
---|---|
Profile | Agricultural soil profile The soil has been disturbed by agriculture. |
Kind of material | Mineral The soil material is primarily composed of mineral particles. |
Water table | Always The water table is always present in the soil. |
Root restrictions | Fourth layer The growth of plant roots is restricted by the fourth layer. |
Type of root restricting layer | Compact Till Compact (Basal) Till |
Drainage | Poorly drained Water is removed so slowly in relation to supply that the soil remains wet for a comparatively large part of the time the soil is not frozen. Excess water is evident in the soil for a large part of the time. Subsurface flow or groundwater flow, or both, in addition to precipitation are the main water sources; there may also be a perched water table, with precipitation exceeding evapotranspiration. Soils have a wide range in available water storage capacity, texture, and depth, and are gleyed subgroups, Gleysols, and Organic soils. |
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. |
Coarse Coarse (USDA Texture Classes: FS,LCS,LS,LFS,GLS,CBLS). |
Medium Acid to Neutral pH 5.6 - 7.4 |
Below | Till (Morainal) Morainal material (till) deposited by glacial ice: a mixture of boulders, sand, silt, and clay. |
Medium Skeletal Medium Skeletal (USDA Texture Classes: VGSL, VGL). |
Moderately / Very Strongly Calcareous 6 - 40 CaCO3 equivalent (%) |
