Some pedons contain free <br />carbonates. Sandy substratum and ponded phases are recognized <br />COMPETl.NG SERIES: These are Linwood . Medo . P.iltns. Philhon and Sh.ilcar senes. <br />Unwood soils have well expressed granular structure to depths of more than 12 inches <br />and formed mainly m woody fibers. .Medo soils ha%c sandy lexiurcs in the lower part of <br />the scries control section. Palms soils have organic matter content greater than 75 percent <br />and do not have an A horizon directly below the organic material. Philbon soils have <br />fibric and hemic material in the upper 12 inches. Shalcar soils ave less than 26 degrees <br />difference between mean January and mean July temperatures. <br />GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: Klossner soils arc in basins that were formerly lakes or <br />ponds, lake plains, till plains, flood plains, or moraines. They are also on hillside seep <br />areas in moraines and sideslopcs of river valleys Slopes range from 0 to 8 percent. *ntc <br />soils on nearby uplands arc generally loamy. The mean annual temperature ranges from <br />45 to 50 degrees F. The mean annual precipitation ranges from 24 to 32 inches. Frost free <br />days range from 110 to 160. Elevations above sea level range from 800 to 1400 feet. <br />GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCl.ATED SOILS: The main ones are the Cinisteo . Harps. <br />Okoboti . Glencoe . Muxkego and Houghton soils. Canistco and Harps soils are on the rims <br />of depressions. Glencoe and Okoboji are at the outer edges of the depressions .Muskego <br />and Houghton soils are in larger depressions. <br />DRAINAGE AND PERMEABILITY: Very poorly drained. Surface runoff is <br />negligible. Permeability is moderately slow to moderately rapid in the organic layers and <br />moderate or moderately slow m the loamy materia). <br />USE AND VEGETATION: The greater pan of this soil is cultivated to com. soybeans, <br />small grains and specialty crops such as vegetables or grass sod. Other areas are in <br />vegetation of grasses, reeds, sedges, alder, aspen, or willow. Some of the hillside seep <br />areas are set aside as natural areas and catted fens.
