Description of soil MBVID~~~~~N (Vidir)

Gleyed Dark Gray Luvisol

The soil is in native condition (undisturbed by agriculture).

This material was not classified due to an absence of information or an unusual situation, such as rockland or an extremely shallow soil.

The water table is present in the soil during an unspecified period.

Non-applicable (e.g. rock, ice).

Not Applicable

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.

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.
