Description of soil BCWTHsad~~A (WESTHAM)
| Classification | R.HG |
|---|---|
| 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 | Fifth layer The growth of plant roots is restricted by the fifth layer. |
| Type of root restricting layer | Salinity Salinity (conductivity > 4 dS/m) |
| 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 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 |
