Description of soil SKSXW~~~~~N (SHORT CREEK REGOSOLIC)

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 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 Well drained

Water is removed from the soil readily but not rapidly. Excess water flows downward readily into underlying pervious material or laterally as subsurface flow. Soils have intermediate available water storage capacity (4-5 cm) within the control section, and are generally intermediate in texture and depth. Water source is precipitation. On slopes subsurface flow may occur for short durations, but additions are equaled by losses.

Parent Materials
Mode of Deposition Texture Chemical properties
Residual

Unconsolidated, weathered, or partly weathered mineral soil material that accumulates by in situ disintegration of bedrock.

Coarse

Coarse (USDA Texture Classes: FS,LCS,LS,LFS,GLS,CBLS).

Moderately / Very Strongly Calcareous

6 - 40 CaCO3 equivalent (%)
