Description of soil NTAFC6~~~~N (AIR FORCE)

Regosolic Static Cryosol

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.

Water is removed from the soil somewhat slowly in relation to supply. Excess water is removed somewhat slowly due to low perviousness, shallow water table, lack of gradient, or some combination of these. Soils have intermediate to high water storage capacity (5-6 cm) within the control section and are usually medium to fined textured. Precipitation is the dominant water source in medium to fine textured soils; precipitation and significant additions by subsurface flow are necessary in coarse textured soils.

These sediments generally consist of gravel and sand with a minor fraction of silt and rarely of clay. The gravels are typically rounded and contain interstitial sand.
