Description of soil MBBEO~~~~~N (Benton)
Classification | SZ.DGC |
---|---|
Profile | Native soil profile The soil is in native condition (undisturbed 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 | Sixth layer The growth of plant roots is restricted by the sixth layer. |
Type of root restricting layer | Lithic Lithic (consolidated bedrock) |
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 |
