Description of soil SKAVGR~~~~N (ALLUVIUM GLEYSOLIC)
Classification | -.- |
---|---|
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 | Growing season The water table is present in the soil during the growing season. |
Root restrictions | Fourth layer The growth of plant roots is restricted by the fourth layer. |
Type of root restricting layer | Lithic Lithic (consolidated bedrock) |
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. |
Mode of Deposition | Texture | Chemical properties | |
---|---|---|---|
Uppermost | Fluvial 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. |
Moderately Fine Moderately Fine (USDA Texture Classes: SCL,FSCL,VFSCL,CL,SICL,GSCL,GL,CBCL). |
Moderately / Very Strongly Calcareous 6 - 40 CaCO3 equivalent (%) |
Below | Residual Unconsolidated, weathered, or partly weathered mineral soil material that accumulates by in situ disintegration of bedrock. |
Very Fine Very Fine (USDA Texture Classes: HC (more than 60% clay). |
Moderately / Very Strongly Calcareous 6 - 40 CaCO3 equivalent (%) |
