Description of soil SKMGCS43~~A (MORGAN DB.SS)
Classification | DB.SS |
---|---|
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 | First layer The growth of plant roots is restricted by the first (uppermost) 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. |
Mode of Deposition | Texture | Chemical properties |
---|---|---|
Colluvial Massive to moderately-well stratified, nonsorted to poorly sorted sediments with any range of particle sizes from clay to boulders that have reached their present position only by direct, gravity-induced movement. Processes include slow displacements such as creep and solifluction and rapid movements such as earth flows. |
Medium Medium (USDA Texture Classes: VFSL,L,SIL,SI,GL,GSIL). |
Calcareous and Saline Calcareous and Saline |
