They are oriented horizontally and are usually <br />overlapping. Platy structure is commonly found in forested areas just below the leaf <br />litter or shallow topsoil. <br />Blocky The peds are block -like or polyhedral, and are bounded by flat or slightly rounded <br />surface that are castings of the faces of surrounding peds. Blocky structure is commonly <br />found in the lower topsoil and subsoil. <br />Prismatic Flat or slightly rounded vertical faces bound the individual peds. Peds are distinctly <br />longer vertically, and faces are typically casts or molds of adjoining peds. Prismatic <br />structure is commonly found in the lower subsoil. <br />Single Grain The structure found in a sandy soil. The individual particles are not held together. <br />Loose No peds, sandy soil <br />Weak Poorly formed, indistinct peds, barely observable in place <br />Moderate Well formed, distinct peds, moderately durable and evident, but not distinct in <br />undisturbed soil <br />Strong Durable peds that are quite evident in un -displaced soil, adhere weakly to one another, <br />withstand displacement, and become separated when soil is disturbed <br />Massive No observable aggregates, or no orderly arrangement of natural lines of weakness <br />Loose <br />Intact specimen not available <br />Friable <br />Slight force between fingers <br />Firm <br />Moderate force between fingers <br />Extremely Firm <br />Moderate force between hands or <br />slight foot pressure <br />Rigid <br />Foot pressure <br />100 <br />�o <br />90 <br />80 <br />70 0 <br />60 <br />50 Silty o <br />Sandy Clay <br />40 clay <br />Clay loam Silty clay ^° <br />30 Sandy clay loam <br />loam mo <br />20 <br />Sandy Loam Silt loam <br />10 (od�ys loam <br />Sand as Silt <br />X00 90 80 >0 60 So 90 -Po -�0 7(0 <br />Percent sand <br />Landscape Position: <br />5unnlut <br />Shoulder <br />BacL Side <br />Foot Sloe <br />Toe Slope <br />Slone Shane: <br />Slope shape is described in two directions: <br />up and down slope (perpendicular to the contour), <br />and across slope (along the horizontal contour); <br />e.g. Linear, Convex or LV'. <br />1` iL <br />i <br />�L�' <br />1 �LC <br />x <br />YL <br />0 <br />F�i� VV <br />VC <br />I � � CL <br />o: a�:w ro+ri7ao.4. <br />Y � ^_ewro. <br />Scr.•ae• f'e� <br />
