Description of soil NLSFDE3~~~N (Sheffield Lake)
| Classification | DU.HFP |
|---|---|
| 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 | Non growing season The water table is present in the soil during the non growing season. |
| 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 | Rapidly drained Water is removed from the soil rapidly in relation to supply. Excess water flows downward if underlying material is pervious. Subsurface flow may occur on steep gradients during heavy rainfall. Soils have low available water storage capacity (2.5-4 cm) within the control section, and are usually coarse textured, or shallow, or both. Water source is precipitation. |
| Mode of Deposition | Texture | Chemical properties |
|---|---|---|
| Till (Morainal) Morainal material (till) deposited by glacial ice: a mixture of boulders, sand, silt, and clay. |
Medium Skeletal Medium Skeletal (USDA Texture Classes: VGSL, VGL). |
Extremely / Strongly Acidic pH < 5.6 |
