Description of soil BCCUS~~~~~A (CUISSON)
| Classification | DG.SO |
|---|---|
| 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 | 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 | Moderately well drained Water is removed from the soil somewhat slowly in relation to supply. Excess water is removed somewhat slowly due to low perviousness, shallow water table, lack of gradient, or some combination of these. Soils have intermediate to high water storage capacity (5-6 cm) within the control section and are usually medium to fined textured. Precipitation is the dominant water source in medium to fine textured soils; precipitation and significant additions by subsurface flow are necessary in coarse textured soils. |
| Mode of Deposition | Texture | Chemical properties |
|---|---|---|
| Glaciolacustrine Used where there is evidence that the lacustrine materials were deposited in contact with glacial ice. One of the following characteristics must be present:
|
Fine Fine (USDA Texture Classes: SC,SIC,C,GSIC). |
Moderately / Very Strongly Calcareous 6 - 40 CaCO3 equivalent (%) |
