Description of soil SKBUHDS28~A (BREDENBURY GLCA.BLC)

Gleyed Calcareous Black Chernozem

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 restricted by the third layer.

Salinity (conductivity > 4 dS/m)

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.

Fluviolacustrine

Medium (USDA Texture Classes: VFSL,L,SIL,SI,GL,GSIL).

Calcareous and Saline

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.

Very Coarse (USDA Texture Classes: VCS,CS,S,GS,CBS).
