Description of soil MBUNG~~~~~N (Unginau Lake)
Classification | OE.TC |
---|---|
Profile | Native soil profile The soil is in native condition (undisturbed by agriculture). |
Kind of material | Unclassified This material was not classified due to an absence of information or an unusual situation, such as rockland or an extremely shallow soil. |
Water table | Unspecified period The water table is present in the soil during an unspecified period. |
Root restrictions | Not applicable Non-applicable (e.g. rock, ice). |
Type of root restricting layer | n/a Not Applicable |
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 |
---|---|---|
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). |
Medium Acid to Neutral pH 5.6 - 7.4 |
