Description of soil QCBKT32000N (BECKET)
| Classification | O.HFP |
|---|---|
| Profile | Native soil profile The soil is in native condition (undisturbed by agriculture). |
| Kind of material | Mineral The soil material is primarily composed of mineral particles. |
| Water table | Never The water table is not present in the soil at any time. |
| Root restrictions | Sixth layer The growth of plant roots is restricted by the sixth layer. |
| Type of root restricting layer | Lithic Lithic (consolidated bedrock) |
| Drainage | Very rapidly drained Water is removed from the soil very rapidly in relation to supply. Excess water flows downward very rapidly if underlying material is pervious. There may be very rapid subsurface flow during heavy rainfall provided there is a steep gradient. Soils have very low available water storage capacity (usually less than 2.5 cm) within the control section and are usually coarse textured, or shallow, or both. Water source is precipitation. |
| Mode of Deposition | Texture | Chemical properties | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Uppermost | Till (Morainal) Morainal material (till) deposited by glacial ice: a mixture of boulders, sand, silt, and clay. |
Medium Skeletal Medium Skeletal (USDA Texture Classes: VGSL, VGL). |
Extremely / Strongly Acidic pH < 5.6 |
| Middle | Residual Unconsolidated, weathered, or partly weathered mineral soil material that accumulates by in situ disintegration of bedrock. |
Medium Skeletal Medium Skeletal (USDA Texture Classes: VGSL, VGL). |
Extremely / Strongly Acidic pH < 5.6 |
| Lowest | Igneous, acidic Igneous, acidic bedrock (dominantly granite) |
