Description of soil MBFTNp~~~~N (Fortina)
| Classification | R.HG |
|---|---|
| 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 | Always The water table is always present in the soil. |
| 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 | Very poorly drained Water is removed from the soil so slowly that the water table remains at or on the surface for the greater part of the time the soil is not frozen. Excess water is present in the soil for the greater part of the time. Groundwater flow and subsurface flow are the major water sources. Precipitation is less important except where there is a perched water table with precipitation exceeding evapotranspiration. Soils have a wide range in available water storage capacity, texture, and depth, and are either Gleysolic or Organic. |
| Mode of Deposition | Texture | Chemical properties |
|---|---|---|
| Glaciofluvial Material moved by glaciers and subsequently sorted and deposited by streams flowing from the melting ice. The deposits are stratified and may occur in the form of outwash plains, deltas, kames eskers, and kame terraces. See also glacial drift and till. |
Coarse Skeletal Coarse Skeletal (USDA Texture Classes: VGS, VGLS). |
Moderately / Very Strongly Calcareous 6 - 40 CaCO3 equivalent (%) |
