Description of soil BCDPOvl~~~N (DESPERATION)
| Classification | O.R |
|---|---|
| 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 | Second layer The growth of plant roots is restricted by the second layer. |
| Type of root restricting layer | Lithic Lithic (consolidated bedrock) |
| Drainage | Rapidly drained Water is removed from the soil rapidly in relation to supply. Excess water flows downward if underlying material is pervious. Subsurface flow may occur on steep gradients during heavy rainfall. Soils have low available water storage capacity (2.5-4 cm) within the control section, and are usually coarse textured, or shallow, or both. Water source is precipitation. |
| Mode of Deposition | Texture | Chemical properties | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Uppermost | 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. |
Coarse Skeletal Coarse Skeletal (USDA Texture Classes: VGS, VGLS). |
Extremely / Strongly Acidic pH < 5.6 |
| Below | Igneous, acidic Igneous, acidic bedrock (dominantly granite) |
