Description of soil YTAGL~~~~~N (ALLIGATOR LAKE)

General Characteristics
Classification TFI.OC

Terric Fibric Organic Cryosol

Profile Native soil profile

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

Kind of material Organic

The soil material is primarily composed of organic particles.

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 Cryic

Cryic (frozen) horizon

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.

Parent Materials
Mode of Deposition Texture Chemical properties
Uppermost Undifferentiated organic

A layered sequence of more than three undifferentiated types of organic material (>30% organic matter by weight).

Fibric

Fibric

Medium Acid to Neutral

pH 5.6 - 7.4

Below 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
