It is mildly alkaline or moderately alkaline and h.is slight to strong effervescence The 2C horizon has hue of lOYR to 5Y. or is neutral, value ot 4 to 6. and chroma ot 0 to 6. It IS clay loam. loam, silt loam, or silty clay loam Thin lenses of fine sand or sand arc in some pedons COMPETING SERIES: There arc no competing series Similar soils are tne Breckenrid^e . Brevort. Burlei^. Comnna. Edmore . Esscwille. Gianbv. Pinconr.in;. Roscommon, and Wauseor. senes. Brcckcnridge. Brevort. Burleigh. Pinconning. and Roscommon soils have frigid temperatures. The Breckenndge and Corunna soils are coarse-loamy Edmore soils do not have moilic epipcdons and arc sandy Esscwille soils arc calcareous Granby soils are sandy. Wauscon soils are coarse-loamy over clayey GEUGRAPlilC SETn.NG: Belleville soils are on nearly level lake plains and till plains. Slopes r.ingc from 0 to 2 percent. The soi':; formed in sandy glaciofluviurn under! tin by loamy glacial or lacustrine sediments at depths of 20 to 40 inches The mean mnual precipitation ranges from 29 to 37 inches, and the mean annua! lenjpcrature ranges from 46 to 50 degrees F. GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS; The ^vcll diaincJ and moderately well drained soils and somewhat poorly drained Selfridge sods arc ia a drainage sequence with Belleville soils In most landscapes with the Belleville soils are the Corunna. Granbv. Oakville. Pewamo. Tedrow . and Thciford soils. The Oakville and Tedrow soils do not have loamy maicnal. The Pewamo soils do not have sandy material The Thetiord DRAl.N'AGE AND PERME.ABILIT\’: Poorly and very poorly drained Surface runoff IS very slow or ponded. Fcrmcabihiy is rapid in the sandy horizons and moderately slow in the 2C horizon. USE AND VEGET.ATION: The greater pan of these soils is cropped to corn, soybeans, and small grains. A few areas of these soils are in pasture, idle land, w oodland, truck crops, or sod production. The wooded areas are chiefly low land hardw oods. DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: The southeastern ran of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. The senes is of moderate extent.
