Description of soil BCKDL~~~~~A (KENDALL)
| Classification | TME.H |
|---|---|
| Profile | Agricultural soil profile The soil has been disturbed by agriculture. |
| Kind of material | Organic The soil material is primarily composed of organic particles. |
| Water table | Always The water table is always present in the soil. |
| Root restrictions | Second layer The growth of plant roots is restricted by the second layer. |
| Type of root restricting layer | Undifferentiated Undifferentiated |
| 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. |
| 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). |
Humic Humic |
Weakly Calcareous < 6 CaCO3 equivalent (%) |
| 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). |
Undifferentiated Undifferentiated acidity and/or calcareousness |
