Description of soil BCNVSd~~~~A (NEAVES)
Classification | R.G |
---|---|
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 | Always The water table is always present in the soil. |
Root restrictions | No root restricting layer The growth of plant roots is not restricted by any soil layer. |
Type of root restricting layer | n/a Not Applicable |
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 | |
---|---|---|---|
Uppermost | 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. |
Medium Medium (USDA Texture Classes: VFSL,L,SIL,SI,GL,GSIL). |
Extremely / Strongly Acidic pH < 5.6 |
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 |
