HomeMy WebLinkAboutSoils mapMmB2 Miami silt loam, 2 to 6 percent slopes, eroded This is a moderately well drained soil with a seasonal water table at 2.0 to 3.5 ft. This soil is located rises on till plains; slopes are 2 to 6 percent. The native vegetation is hardwood forest. The surface layer is silt loam and has moderately low organic matter content (1.0 to 2.0 percent). Permeability is very slow <0.06 in /hr) in the most restrictive layer above 60 inches. Available water capacity is moderate (6.1 inches in the upper 60 inches). The pH of the surface layer in non -limed areas is 5.1 to 6.5. Droughtiness and water erosion are management concerns for crop production. This soil is designated potential highly erodible (class 2) in the Highly Erodible Land (HEL) classification system. CrA Crosby silt loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes This is a somewhat poorly drained soil with a seasonal high water table at 0.5 to 2.0 ft. This soil is located on rises on till plains; slopes are 0 to 3 percent. The native vegetation is hardwood forest. The surface layer is silt loam and has moderately low to moderate organic matter content (1.0 to 3.0 percent). Permeability is very slow <0.06 in /hr) in the most restrictive layer above 60 inches. Available water capacity is moderate (6.2 inches in the upper 60 inches). The pH of the surface layer in non -limed areas is 5.1 to 6.5. Droughtiness and wetness are management concerns for crops production. This soil responds well to tile drainage; it is designated potentially highly erodible (class 2) in the Highly Erodible Land (HEL) classification system. Br Brookston silty clay loam This nearly level soil is in depressions, on flats, and in narrow drainageways between better drained soils on broad, undulation plains. Slopes are 0 to 2 percent. In some small areas, this soil has a silt loam or clay loam surface layer. Runoff is very slow. Wetness is the main limitation. Because of wetness, the soil has severe limitations for nonfarm uses. Most areas are cultivated. A few are wooded. Wooded areas support fair stands of hardwoods, but some are heavily pastured. Permeability is moderate (0.6 to 2 in /hr) in the most restrictive layer above 60 inches. Available water capacity is high (12 inches in the upper 60 inches). The pH of the surface layer in non -limed areas is 6.6 to 7.3.
