Description of soil BCRUOpca~~A (RUMOHR)
| 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 | Unspecified period The water table is present in the soil during an unspecified period. |
| Root restrictions | Fourth layer The growth of plant roots is restricted by the fourth layer. |
| Type of root restricting layer | Undifferentiated Undifferentiated |
| Drainage | Very poorly drained Water is removed from the soil so slowly that the water table remains at or on the surface for the greater part of the time the soil is not frozen. Excess water is present in the soil for the greater part of the time. Groundwater flow and subsurface flow are the major water sources. Precipitation is less important except where there is a perched water table with precipitation exceeding evapotranspiration. Soils have a wide range in available water storage capacity, texture, and depth, and are either Gleysolic or Organic. |
| Mode of Deposition | Texture | Chemical properties | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Uppermost | Fen Peat These deposits consist of sedge peat derived primarily from sedges with inclusions of partially decayed stems of shrubs formed in a eutrophic environment due to the close association of the material with mineral-rich waters. |
Mesic Mesic |
Moderately / Very Strongly Calcareous 6 - 40 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. |
Moderately Coarse Moderately Coarse (USDA Texture Classes: VFS,LVFS,CSL,SL,FSL,GSL,CBSL,GFSL). |
Moderately / Very Strongly Calcareous 6 - 40 CaCO3 equivalent (%) |
