Description of soil MBVFFt~~~~N (Vodroff)

General Characteristics
Classification R.HG

Rego Humic Gleysol

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 First layer

The growth of plant roots is restricted by the first (uppermost) layer.

Type of root restricting layer Salinity

Salinity (conductivity > 4 dS/m)

Drainage Poorly drained

Water is removed so slowly in relation to supply that the soil remains wet for a comparatively large part of the time the soil is not frozen. Excess water is evident in the soil for a large part of the time. Subsurface flow or groundwater flow, or both, in addition to precipitation are the main water sources; there may also be a perched water table, with precipitation exceeding evapotranspiration. Soils have a wide range in available water storage capacity, texture, and depth, and are gleyed subgroups, Gleysols, and Organic soils.

Parent Materials
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.

Medium

Medium (USDA Texture Classes: VFSL,L,SIL,SI,GL,GSIL).

Moderately / Very Strongly Calcareous

6 - 40 CaCO3 equivalent (%)

Below Till (Morainal)

Morainal material (till) deposited by glacial ice: a mixture of boulders, sand, silt, and clay.

Moderately Fine

Moderately Fine (USDA Texture Classes: SCL,FSCL,VFSCL,CL,SICL,GSCL,GL,CBCL).

Moderately / Very Strongly Calcareous

6 - 40 CaCO3 equivalent (%)
