It is slightly acid to moderately alkaline. The upper 12 inches of this hor.w-n averages less than 35 p'-cent clay Some pedons contain thm strata of fine sand, loamy sand, or silt Gravel or cobble sized rock fragments range from 0 to 25 percent by volume Some pedons contain free carbonates Sandy substratum and ponded phases are recognized COMPETING SERIES: These are Lnwood . Medo. Palms. Philbon and Snalcar series. Linwood soils have well expressed granular structure to depths of more than. 12 inches and formed mainly in woody fibers Medo soils have sandy textures in the lower part of the series control section Palms soils have organic matter content greater than “5 percent and do not have .an A horizon directly below the organic material. Philbon soils have fibric and hemte material in the upper 12 inches Shalcnr soils avc less than 26 degrees difference between mean January and mean July temperatures GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: Klossner soils are in basins that were formerly lakes or ponds, lake plains, till plains, flood plains, or moraines They are also on hillside seep aieos in moraines and sideslopes of river valleys Slopes range from 0 to S percent The soils on nearby uplands are generally loamy. The mean a.nnual temperature ranges from 45 to 50 degrees F. The mean annual precipitation ranges from 24 to 32 inches Frost free da* . range from 1 10 to 160. Elev.ations above sea level range from SOO to 1400 feet GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS: The mam ones are the C.anisteo . H.^rps. Okobou. Glencoe . Muskego and Hought on soils Canisteo and Harps soils are on the rims of depressions Glencoe and Okoboji arc at the outer edges of the depressions Muskego and Houghton soils are in larger depressions DRAINAGE AND PERMEABILITY: Very poorly drained Surface runoff is negligible. Permeability is moderately slow to moderately rapid in the organic layers and moderate or moderately slow in the loamy material. USE AND VEGETATION: The greater part of this soil is cultivated to worn, soybeans, small grains and specialty crops such as vegetables or grass sod. Other areas are in vegetation of grasses, reeds, sedges, alder, aspen, or w illow . Som.e of the hillside seep areas are set aside as natural areas and called fens. am
