Description of soil ONWBY~~~~~A (WHITBY)

Brunisolic Gray Brown Luvisol

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 sufficiently slowly in relation to supply, to keep the soil wet for a significant part of the growing season. Excess water moves slowly downward if precipitation is the major supply. If subsurface water or groundwater, or both, is the main source, the flow rate may vary but the soil remains wet for a significant part of the growing season. Precipitation is the main source if available water storage capacity is high; contribution by subsurface flow or groundwater flow, or both, increases as available water storage capacity decreases. Soils have a wide range in available water supply, texture, and depth, and are gleyed phases of well drained subgroups.

Morainal material (till) deposited by glacial ice: a mixture of boulders, sand, silt, and clay.

Moderately Fine (USDA Texture Classes: SCL,FSCL,VFSCL,CL,SICL,GSCL,GL,CBCL).
