•1 � i � .
<br /> the woody fragment content averages less than 15 percent by volume in the control
<br /> section. It is very strongly acid to slightly alkaline.
<br /> The organic layers have hue of l OYR,7.SYR,or SYR,value of 2 to 3, and chroma of 1 to
<br /> 3,or is in 2.5/0.The layers are predominantly muck(sapric material),but in some pedons
<br /> mucky peat(hemic material)has a combined thickness of less than 10 inches and peat
<br /> (fibric material) less than 5 inches. Some pedons have coprogenous material or marly
<br /> material below 51 inches
<br /> COMPETING SERIES: These are the C`�-�rli,l., Len:�, 1'�t��tr7:et, �-��ft��c, and
<br /> Sel��i-ahmoo series. Similar soils are the Aclrian, t'a�-bui�dale, Gs•�ei�«ood, Linl�ouci,
<br /> Lupti��1, Palm,, ilit7e,and �t�'illette series. Carlisle soils derived dominantly from woody
<br /> materials and contain an average of 15 to 30 percent woody fragments in the control
<br /> section. Lena soils contain free carbonates throughout.Peteetneet soils are massive or
<br /> platy in bottom tier,are on elevations of about 4,500 feet,and are substantially drier in
<br /> the moisture control section during the 120 days following the summer solstice. Saltese
<br /> and Semiahmoo soils are in areas with mild humid climates.Adrian, Linwood,Palms,
<br /> ; and Willette soils have a mineral substrata depths ranging from 16 to about 50 inches.
<br /> Carbondale,Greenwood, Lupton, and Rifle soils are frigid.
<br /> GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: Houghton soils occupy closed depressions within lake
<br /> "' plains,outwash plains,ground and end moraines,and on floodplains. Slope gradients are
<br /> less than 2 percent.The mean annual precipitation ranges from about 30 to 42 inches, and
<br /> the mean annual temperature is about 48 to 53 degrees F.
<br /> GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS: These are the :-�clriai�,Edselton(T�,
<br /> Lcl�-va�•d�,Moston(T), �tuske�ro, Palms,and ��ili�tte soils. Edselton('1�and Edwards soils
<br /> ; are underlain by marly material at depths of 16 to 51 inches. Moston(T),and Muskego
<br /> soils are underlain by coprogenous material 'between 16 and 51 inches. Poorly or very
<br /> poorly drained mineral soils are commonly associated along the margins of the bogs.
<br /> DRAINAGE AND PERMEABILITY: Very poorly drained. Depth to the seasonal high
<br /> water table ranges from 2 foot above the surface in ponded phases to 1 foot below the
<br /> surface from September to June.The potential for surface runoff is very slow or ponded.
<br /> ' Permeability is moderately slow to moderately rapid.
<br /> USE AND VEGETATION: A considerable area of these soils is used for cropland or
<br /> ' pasture.Common crops are onions, lettuce,potatoes,celery, radishes,carrots,mint, and
<br /> some corn.Native vegetation was primarily of marsh grasses, sedges,reeds,buttonbrush,
<br /> and cattails. Some water-tolerant trees were near the margin of the bog.
<br /> DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: MLRA 95,98, 110, 111. Southern part of the lower
<br /> peninsula of Michigan,Wisconsin,Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota,and Illinois. The series is
<br /> of large extent.
<br /> MLRA OFFICE RESPONSIBLE: Indianapolis, Indiana
<br /> SERIES ESTABLISHED: Roscommon County,Michigan, 1924.
