mineral substrata which is at depths of less than 50 inches. Very poorly drained,poorly drained,or somewhat poorly <br /> drained mineral soils are commonly along the outer boundary. <br /> DRAINAGE AND PERMEABILITY: Very poorly drained. Surface runoff and internal drainage are very slow or <br /> ponded. Permeability is moderate or moderately rapid. <br /> USE AND VEGETATION: These soils are primarily in woodland, but in some places the vegetation is chiefly <br /> reeds,sedges,and cattails.Principal woodland vegetation is tamarack,dogwood,poison sumac,alder,and willow <br /> with ground cover of sphagnum moss,marsh grasses,sedges,reeds,and cattails. Ground cover varies with amount of <br /> sunlight and microrelief. <br /> DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: South-central part of Wisconsin, northern Iowa,southern Minnesota, southern <br /> Michigan,and New York.The series is moderately extensive. <br /> MLRA OFFICE RESPONSIBLE: St. Paul,Minnesota <br /> SERIES ESTABLISHED: Columbia County,Wisconsin, 1972. <br /> REMARKS:It is believed that the depressional positions, which these soils occupy,are frost pockets with a slightly <br /> cooler microclimate than adjacent uplands. Diagnostic horizons and features recognized in this pedon are: <br /> Organic material has 12 percent or more organic carbon and is dominatly hemic in the subsurface tier(12 to 36 <br /> inches).The fiber content meets neither the rubbed fiber content or sodium pyrophosphate solubility requirements <br /> for either fibric or sapric materials. Soil temperature is mesic(47 to 59 degrees F). <br /> Svoboda Ecological Resources 1350 Orono Oaks Drive <br /> Project No.:2007-061-03 24 Ron Ridgeway <br />
