Description of soil MBHLY~~~~~A (Hartley)
| Classification | O.BLC |
|---|---|
| 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 | 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 | 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 | Lacustrine Sediment, generally consisting of either stratified fine sand, silt, and clay deposited on the lake bed, or moderately-well sorted, stratified sand and coarse materials that consist of near lake shore or beach deposits. These materials have either settled from suspension in bodies of standing fresh water or accumulated at their margins through wave action. |
Moderately Fine Moderately Fine (USDA Texture Classes: SCL,FSCL,VFSCL,CL,SICL,GSCL,GL,CBCL). |
Moderately / Very Strongly Calcareous 6 - 40 CaCO3 equivalent (%) |
| Middle | 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 (%) |
| Lowest | Till (Morainal) Morainal material (till) deposited by glacial ice: a mixture of boulders, sand, silt, and clay. |
Medium Medium (USDA Texture Classes: VFSL,L,SIL,SI,GL,GSIL). |
Moderately / Very Strongly Calcareous 6 - 40 CaCO3 equivalent (%) |
