Description of soil ONOTK~~~~~A (OTTERSKIN)

Gleyed Humo-Ferric Podzol

The soil has been disturbed by agriculture.

The soil material is primarily composed of mineral particles.

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

The growth of plant roots is not restricted by any soil layer.

Not Applicable

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.

Fine (USDA Texture Classes: SC,SIC,C,GSIC).

pH 5.6 - 7.4

Sediment, generally consisting of either stratified fine sand, silt, and clay deposited on the lake bed, or moderately-well sorted, stratified sand and coarse materials that consist of near lake shore or beach deposits. These materials have either settled from suspension in bodies of standing fresh water or accumulated at their margins through wave action.

Coarse (USDA Texture Classes: FS,LCS,LS,LFS,GLS,CBLS).
