Description of soil BCSNP~~~~~A (SNEHUMPTON)

General Characteristics
Classification O.R

Orthic Regosol

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 Never

The water table is not present in the soil at any time.
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 Well drained

Water is removed from the soil readily but not rapidly. Excess water flows downward readily into underlying pervious material or laterally as subsurface flow. Soils have intermediate available water storage capacity (4-5 cm) within the control section, and are generally intermediate in texture and depth. Water source is precipitation. On slopes subsurface flow may occur for short durations, but additions are equaled by losses.
Parent Materials
Mode of Deposition Texture Chemical properties
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
