Description of soil ABNKN~~~~~N (NICKERSON)
Classification | O.HR |
---|---|
Profile | Native soil profile The soil is in native condition (undisturbed by agriculture). |
Kind of material | Mineral The soil material is primarily composed of mineral particles. |
Water table | Never The water table is not present in the soil at any time. |
Root restrictions | Third layer The growth of plant roots is restricted by the third layer. |
Type of root restricting layer | Undifferentiated Undifferentiated |
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 |
---|---|---|
Colluvial Massive to moderately-well stratified, nonsorted to poorly sorted sediments with any range of particle sizes from clay to boulders that have reached their present position only by direct, gravity-induced movement. Processes include slow displacements such as creep and solifluction and rapid movements such as earth flows. |
Medium Medium (USDA Texture Classes: VFSL,L,SIL,SI,GL,GSIL). |
Weakly Calcareous < 6 CaCO3 equivalent (%) |
