Description of soil SKCHC13~~~A (CHAPLIN CA.BC)

General Characteristics
Classification CA.BC

Calcareous Brown Chernozem

Profile Agricultural soil profile

The soil has been disturbed 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 No root restricting layer

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

Type of root restricting layer n/a

Not Applicable

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.

Parent Materials
Mode of Deposition Texture Chemical properties
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.

Very Coarse

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

Moderately / Very Strongly Calcareous

6 - 40 CaCO3 equivalent (%)
