Description of soil MBREN~~~~~N (Rennie River)
| Classification | GLE.DYB |
|---|---|
| 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 | Unspecified period The water table is present in the soil during an unspecified period. |
| Root restrictions | Fifth layer The growth of plant roots is restricted by the fifth layer. |
| Type of root restricting layer | Lithic Lithic (consolidated bedrock) |
| Drainage | Imperfectly drained Water is removed from the soil sufficiently slowly in relation to supply, to keep the soil wet for a significant part of the growing season. Excess water moves slowly downward if precipitation is the major supply. If subsurface water or groundwater, or both, is the main source, the flow rate may vary but the soil remains wet for a significant part of the growing season. Precipitation is the main source if available water storage capacity is high; contribution by subsurface flow or groundwater flow, or both, increases as available water storage capacity decreases. Soils have a wide range in available water supply, texture, and depth, and are gleyed phases of well drained subgroups. |
| Mode of Deposition | Texture | Chemical properties | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Uppermost | Till (Morainal) Morainal material (till) deposited by glacial ice: a mixture of boulders, sand, silt, and clay. |
Coarse Skeletal Coarse Skeletal (USDA Texture Classes: VGS, VGLS). |
Extremely / Strongly Acidic pH < 5.6 |
| Below | Igneous, acidic Igneous, acidic bedrock (dominantly granite) |
