Description of soil BCSTB~~~~~A (SANTABIN)
| Classification | T.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 | Unspecified period The water table is present in the soil during an unspecified period. |
| Root restrictions | Third layer The growth of plant roots is restricted by the third layer. |
| Type of root restricting layer | Undifferentiated Undifferentiated |
| 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 | 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. |
Humic Humic |
Medium Acid to Neutral pH 5.6 - 7.4 |
| Below | Glaciolacustrine Used where there is evidence that the lacustrine materials were deposited in contact with glacial ice. One of the following characteristics must be present:
|
Moderately Fine Moderately Fine (USDA Texture Classes: SCL,FSCL,VFSCL,CL,SICL,GSCL,GL,CBCL). |
Medium Acid to Neutral pH 5.6 - 7.4 |
