' <br /> ' <br /> KLOSSNER SERIES <br /> ' The Klossner series consists of very deep, very poorty drained soils formed in well decomposed <br /> organic material 41 to 127 cm(16 to 50 inches)thick overlying loamy deposits on moraines,t�71 <br /> , plains, lake plau�s, �ood plams, and h�lside seep areas. Slope ranges from 0 to 9 percent. Mean <br /> aimual precipitation is about 711 mm(28 inches). Mean annual air temperature is about 8 <br /> degrees C(47 degrees F). <br /> ' TAXONOMIC CLASS: Loamy,mixed,euic,mesic Teiric Haplosaprists <br /> TYPICAL PEDON: Klossner muck, on a 1 percent slope, in a cultivated field.
