I 1 LOCATION BOOTS WI+IA IN MI MN NY Established Series � Rev. HFG-JJJ 12/2005 BOOTS SERIES � The Boots series consists of vcr dee , ver oorl drained soils formed in or anic material. Y P YP Y � � These soils have moderate or moderately rapid permeabiliry. Slopes are less than 2 percent. Mean annual precipitation is about 30 inches. Mean annual air temperature is about 48 degrees F. TAXONOMIC CLASS: Euic, mesic Typic Haplohemists ' TYPICAL PEDON: Boots muck - on a slope of less than 1 percent in an undisturbed area at an elevation of about 821 feet. (Colors are for moist soil unless otherwise stated.j Oal--0 to 4 inches; black(SYR 2/1), dark reddish brown (SYR 2/2) rubbed sapric material; about � 15 percent fiber, 5 percent rubbed; massive; very friable; common fine roots; primarily herbaceous fibers; neutral (pH 7.0 in water); clear wavy boundary. Oa2--4 to 10 inches; dark reddish brown (SYR 2/2), dark reddish brown (SYR 3/2) rubbed sapric ' material; about 20 percent fiber, 5 percent rubbed; massive; very friable; primarily herbaceous fibers; neutral (pH 7.0 in water); clear wavy boundary. Oe--10 to 60 inches; dark reddish brown (SYR 3/2), dark brown (7.SYR 3/2) rubbed hemic � material; about 70 percent fiber, 20 percent rubbed; weak platy structure; very friable; primarily herbaceous fibers; neutral (pH 7.0 in water). TYPE LOCATION: Columbia County, Wisconsin; about 6 miles east of Wisconsin Dells in � Weeting Marsh; 2,280 feet north and l,059 feet east of the southwest corner of sec. l 0, T. 13 N., R. 7 E. USGS Lewiston, Wis. Quad. Latitude - 43 degrees 37 minutes 08 seconds N., Longitude 1 89 degrees 39 minutes 19 seconds W. NAD 27. RANGE IN CHARACTERISTICS: The organic layers are more than S l inches thick. The orgamc material is primarily herbaceous fibers. Some pedons contain up to 15 percent by volume � of woody fragments that cannot be crushed between the fingers. Layers within the control sections rypically have pH of 6.0 to 7.0 in water, but range from pH 5.6 to 7.3. In some pedons, carbonates are in subhorizons of the subsurface tier. In some pedons thin layers contain as much 1 as 20 percent mineral material. Layers within subsurface and bottom tiers have hue of SYR, 7.SYR, or lOYR; value of 2 to 4, and chroma of ] to 4. Typically, the layers in the surface tier are predominantly sapric material,but in some pedons they are primarily hemic material. These � layers are commonly massive, but in some pedons they have weak coarse subangular blocky or weak platy structure. The layers in the subsurface and bottom tiers are predominantly hemic material. In some pedons, layers of sapric materials are within the subsurface and bottom tiers � but total thickness is less than l0 inches. The layers in the subsurface and bottom tiers commonly have weak platy structure or they are massive. COMPETING SERIES: These are the Cutcomh and McMurrav series and the Carbondale, � Carlisle, Care�n, Grecnwc�c�cl, Hou�?hton, Lena, Loxlc , Lupton, Rifle, Spalding, and Taeoosh series. The Cutcomb series that was established in 1995 should be dropped and combined with Boots. McMurray soils consist mainly of woody fibers. Carbondale, Greenwood, Loxley, Lupton, � Rifle, Spalding, and Tacoosh soils are frigid. In addition, Carbondale, Loxley, and Lupton soils 1 Svoboda Ecological Resources 744 Brown Road North Project No.: 2007-081-03 ]'] Ted Schultze �
