Description of soil MBBEOt~~~~A (Benton)
| Classification | SZ.DGC |
|---|---|
| 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 | Third layer The growth of plant roots is restricted by the third layer. |
| Type of root restricting layer | Salinity Salinity (conductivity > 4 dS/m) |
| 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. |
| Mode of Deposition | Texture | Chemical properties | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Uppermost | Residual Unconsolidated, weathered, or partly weathered mineral soil material that accumulates by in situ disintegration of bedrock. |
Fine Fine (USDA Texture Classes: SC,SIC,C,GSIC). |
Weakly Calcareous < 6 CaCO3 equivalent (%) |
| Below | Shale Shale bedrock |
