Description of soil NTKEL10~~~N (KETTLE LAKE)

General Characteristics
Classification R.TC

Regosolic Turbic Cryosol

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 Not applicable

Not applicable.

Root restrictions Not applicable

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

Type of root restricting layer n/a

Not Applicable

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
Colluvial

Massive to moderately-well stratified, nonsorted to poorly sorted sediments with any range of particle sizes from clay to boulders that have reached their present position only by direct, gravity-induced movement. Processes include slow displacements such as creep and solifluction and rapid movements such as earth flows.
