The A horizon has hue of l 0YR or neutral, value of 2 or 3, and chroma of 0 to 2. It is loamy fine sand, <br /> loamy sand, fine sand, sand, or their mucky and gravelly analogues. The reaction is slightly acid to <br /> slightly alkaline. <br /> The Bg horizon has hue of lOYR or 2.SY, value of 4 to 6, and chroma of 1 or 2. It is loamy fine sand, <br /> loamy sand, fine sand, sand, or their gravelly analogues. The reaction is slightly acid to slightly alkaline. <br /> A Cg horizon is present in some pedons. Colors and textures are similar to that of the Bg horizon. <br /> The 2Cg horizon has hue of 2.SY or SY, value of 4 to 6 and chroma of 1 to 2. It is loam or clay loam. <br /> The reaction is slightly alkaline or moderately alkaline. <br /> COMPETING SERIES: There are no competing series. <br /> GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: Tadkee soils are on beaches and rims of glacial and present lakes. Slope <br /> ranges from 0 to 2 percent. The soils formed in a mantle of sandy material underlain by loamy glacial till <br /> at depths of 20 to 40 inches. Mean annual precipitation ranges from 25 to 32 inches. Mean annual air <br /> temperature ranges from 45 to 50 degrees F. <br /> GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS: Tadkee soils can be associated with many upland <br /> glacial till soils. <br /> DRAINAGE AND PERMEABILITY: Poorly and very poorly drained. Surface runoff is negligible. <br /> Permeability is rapid in the upper sandy mantle and moderate in the 2C horizon. <br /> USE AND VEGETATION: Most areas of these soils are used for pasture or wildlife habitat. Native <br /> vegetation is water tolerant grasses and trees. <br /> DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Mostly east-central Minnesota with limited areas in south-central <br /> Minnesota. The series is of very minor extent in MLRA-103. <br /> MLRA OFFICE RESPONSIBLE: St. Paul, Minnesota <br /> SERIES ESTABLISHED: Waseca County, Minnesota, 2001. The name is coined. <br /> REMARKS: Diagnostic horizons and features recognized in this pedon are: ochric epipedon: the zone <br /> from 0 to 6 inches (A horizon); aquic moisture regime. <br /> These soils were included with the Belleville and Essexville soils in the past. <br /> _ _ <br /> National Cooperative Soil Survey <br /> U.S.A. <br />
