Description of soil SKGRAO~~~~N (GRILL LAKE CHERNOZEMIC)

General Characteristics
Classification -.-

Not Applicable

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 Unspecified period

The water table is present in the soil during an unspecified period.

Root restrictions Second layer

The growth of plant roots is restricted by the second layer.

Type of root restricting layer Salinity

Salinity (conductivity > 4 dS/m)

Drainage Moderately well drained

Water is removed from the soil somewhat slowly in relation to supply. Excess water is removed somewhat slowly due to low perviousness, shallow water table, lack of gradient, or some combination of these. Soils have intermediate to high water storage capacity (5-6 cm) within the control section and are usually medium to fined textured. Precipitation is the dominant water source in medium to fine textured soils; precipitation and significant additions by subsurface flow are necessary in coarse textured soils.

Parent Materials
Mode of Deposition Texture Chemical properties
Lacustrine

Sediment, generally consisting of either stratified fine sand, silt, and clay deposited on the lake bed, or moderately-well sorted, stratified sand and coarse materials that consist of near lake shore or beach deposits. These materials have either settled from suspension in bodies of standing fresh water or accumulated at their margins through wave action.

Fine

Fine (USDA Texture Classes: SC,SIC,C,GSIC).

Calcareous and Saline
