Description of soil NTKEL13~~~N (KETTLE LAKE)

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.

Not applicable.

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

Water is removed from the soil readily but not rapidly. Excess water flows downward readily into underlying pervious material or laterally as subsurface flow. Soils have intermediate available water storage capacity (4-5 cm) within the control section, and are generally intermediate in texture and depth. Water source is precipitation. On slopes subsurface flow may occur for short durations, but additions are equaled by losses.

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.
