,, +. <br /> GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: Metea soils formed in 20 to 40 inches of wind or water laid sandy � <br /> material and the underlying loamy till and are on moraines and till plains. Slope gradients range <br /> from 0 to 25 percent. Mean annual temperature ranges from 48 to 53 degrees F.,mean annual <br /> precipitation ranges from 30 to 42 inches,frost-free period ranges from 150 to 180 days,and <br /> elevation ranges from 600 to 1,530 feet above sea level. <br /> GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS: These are the -1u�rb__zna��bhee, Ba�-rti, <br /> ' Brool:stoi�, Ci�::ls�a, Cr��iet•, ivllrl:t�i�, 111uo3�, Nliai7�i, t���vossc�, PI<linfiield, Renssr�ia�_�, f2iddltis, <br /> Sel fi�idi�:,, � iiil:s,and ���vasee soils.The somewhat poorly drained Aubbeenaubbee, Crosier, <br /> Markton,and Selfridge soils are on footslopes of glaciated uplands. The poorly drained Barry <br /> and Brookston soils and the poorly drained or very poorly drained Rensselaer soils are in <br /> depressions of glaciated uplands.The excessively drained Chelsea and Plainfield soils,and the <br /> well drained Spinks soils are on summits and backslopes of glaciated uplands and are sandier in <br /> the lower part of the series control section.The moderately well drained Moon soils are on <br /> ' backslopes and have redoximorphic features within 40 inches of the surface.The moderately <br /> well drained Miami soils,and the well drained Owosso,Riddles,and Wawasee soils are on <br /> summits and backslopes of glaciated uplands. <br /> DRAINAGE AND PERMEABILITY: Well drained.The potential for surface runoff is <br /> negligible to very high,depending on the slope and depth to till.Permeability is rapid in the <br /> upper sandy material and moderate or moderately slow in the underlying loamy till. <br /> USE AND VEGETATION: Soils are cropped to corn and soybeans. Small grain and hay are <br /> also grown.Many small areas are used for pasture or woodland.Native vegetation is deciduous <br /> forest. <br /> DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: MLRAs 95,98,and 111 in northern Indiana, southern <br /> Wisconsin,northeast Ohio,northern Illinois,and southern Michigan.The soils are of moderate <br /> extent. <br /> MLRA OFFICE RESPONSIBLE: Indianapolis, Indiana. <br /> SERIES ESTABLISHED: Fulton County, Indiana, 1941. <br /> REMARKS: Diagnostic horizons and features recognized in this pedon are: <br /> Ochric epipedon:from the surface to 28 inches(Ap, E) <br /> Argillic horizon: 28 to 44 inches (Btl,2Bt2) <br /> Arenic subgroup: from the surface to 28 inches (Ap, E) <br /> Udic moisture regime <br /> NASIS Data Mapunit ID 155031 represents Metea in complex with Moon on 1 to 5 percent <br /> slopes. � <br /> NASIS Data Mapunit ID 401581 represents Metea in complex with Riddles on 1 to 5 percent <br /> slopes. <br /> NASIS Data Mapunit ID 125312 represents Metea in complex with Riddles on 5 to 10 percent <br /> slopes,eroded. <br /> p C� (� � � �I � <br /> , � <br /> DE(, 21 ZOU� <br />
