<br /> RANGE IN CHARACTERISTICS: Depth to free carbon tes ranges from 20 to 54 inches. Rock
<br /> ' fragments of mixed lithology comprise 1 to 8 percent of the volume of the control section.
<br /> The A or Ap horizons have hue of lOYR, value of 2 or 3, a d chroma of 1 or 2. The E horizon where
<br /> � present, has value of 3 to 5, and chroma of 1 to 3. The A an E horizons are loam or clay loam, but
<br /> sandy loam, fine sandy loam, or silt loam is within the rang . They range from moderately acid to
<br /> neutral.
<br /> ' The Bt horizon has hue of lOYR or 2.SY, value of 4 or 5, a d chroma of 3 or 4. It is clay loam or loam
<br /> and has 24 to 35 percent clay and 30 to 45 percent sand. Th B/A clay ratios range from 1.2 to 1.4. It is
<br /> � strongly acid to slightly acid in the upper part and moderate y acid to neutral in the lower part. A Bw
<br /> horizon is sometimes present below the Bt.
<br /> � The Bk horizon has hue of lOYR or 2.SYR, value of 4 or 5, nd chroma of 3 to 6. The Bk horizon is
<br /> loam or clay loam. It is slightly alkaline or moderately alkal ne. Relict redoximorphic features are
<br /> present in some pedons.
<br /> � The C horizon has hue of 2.SY or lOYR, value of 4 to 6, an chroma of 3 to 6. It is loam or clay loam. It
<br /> is slightly alkaline or moderately alkaline. Relict redoximo hic features are present in some pedons.
<br /> � COMPETING SERIES: These are the A_�us, Argyle, Bal 'more, Bassett, Bloomin�, Caleb,
<br /> Dowa iac, Dunbnd�e, Gara, Koronis, Lauramie, Lon lois, dick, Mohawk, Neda, Newcomer, Oneco,
<br /> � Orwood, Racine, Razort, Sebbo, Taoni, Waucoma, and Wi eshiek soils in the same family. Angus and
<br /> Sebbo soil have saturation in the lower third of the series co trol section. Argyle, Baltimore, and Oneco
<br /> soils have B horizons with 7.SYR or redder hue. Bassett soil are very strongly acid to moderately acid
<br /> , in the upper part of the Bt horizon. Blooming and Racine soi s have 15 to 35 percent sand in the upper
<br /> part of the particle-size control section. Caleb soils have so e subhorizons that have more than 45
<br /> percent in the lower part of the control section. Dowagiac an Koronis soils have less than 24 percent
<br /> � clay in the lower one third of the particle-size control sectio . Dunbridge, Waucoma, Newcomer and
<br /> Winneshiek soils have sola terminated by bedrock at depths bove 60 inches. Gara soils average less
<br /> than 2 percent rock fragments in the control section. Longloi , Lydic, and Neda soils have more than 8
<br /> ' percent rock fragments in some subhorizon of the control se tion. Lauramie soils have more than 45
<br /> percent sand in some subhorizon in the middle part of the co trol section. Mohawk soils have a higher
<br /> content of silt and have dark colors in the B horizon which a parently are inherited from dark shale.
<br /> � Orwood soils have no rock fragments in the particle-size con rol section. Razort soils have less than 30
<br /> percent sand in the control section.
<br /> ' GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: These soils have convex slope on moraines and till plains. Slope
<br /> gradients range from 5 to 70 percent. They formed in calcare us, loamy glacial till of late Wisconsinan
<br /> Age. Mean annual temperature ranges from 45 degrees to 52 egrees F. Mean annual precipitation
<br /> 1 ranges from 25 to 33 inches. Frost free days range from 125 165. Elevations range from 700 to 1600
<br /> feet.
<br /> , GEOGRAPffiCALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS: These incl de the Cordova, Dundas, Glencoe, Hamel,
<br /> Houghton, Klossner, Le Sueur, Muske�o, and Nessel soils. P orly drained Cordova and somewhat
<br /> poorly and poorly drained Dundas soils are on flats and uppe drainageways with a high seasonal water
<br /> ' table. Very poorly drained Glencoe, Houghton, Klossner, and Muskego soils are mostly in depressions.
<br /> Poorly drained Hamel soils are on foot and toe slopes. Moder tely well drained Le Sueur and Nessel
<br /> soils are on slightly elevated flats and gently convex slopes.
