Description of soil SKAVSG~~~~A (ALLUVIUM SOLONETZIC)

General Characteristics
Classification -.-

Not Applicable

Profile Agricultural soil profile

The soil has been disturbed 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 Unspecified period

The water table is present in the soil during an unspecified period.

Root restrictions Third layer

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

Type of root restricting layer Solonetzic

Solonetzic B horizon

Drainage Imperfectly drained

Water is removed from the soil sufficiently slowly in relation to supply, to keep the soil wet for a significant part of the growing season. Excess water moves slowly downward if precipitation is the major supply. If subsurface water or groundwater, or both, is the main source, the flow rate may vary but the soil remains wet for a significant part of the growing season. Precipitation is the main source if available water storage capacity is high; contribution by subsurface flow or groundwater flow, or both, increases as available water storage capacity decreases. Soils have a wide range in available water supply, texture, and depth, and are gleyed phases of well drained subgroups.

Parent Materials
Mode of Deposition Texture Chemical properties
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.

Moderately Fine

Moderately Fine (USDA Texture Classes: SCL,FSCL,VFSCL,CL,SICL,GSCL,GL,CBCL).

Moderately / Very Strongly Calcareous

6 - 40 CaCO3 equivalent (%)
