  1. Two Florida Panhandle Soils Lisa Shaw SOS 5716C -Pedology Spring 2010

  2. Bay County: Coastal to Sandhills • Coastal Plain • Lakes, Creeks, Springs • Mean Air Temperature : 67.5 F • Avg. Yearly Precipitation: 67.2” North Site- Scrubby High Pine South Site- Flatwoods/ Disturbed urban setting

  3. North Site- Borrow Pit

  4. North SiteBorrow Pit Upland Gentle Slope: 2-6% Slow Surface Runoff Medium Erosion Potential Profile location

  5. Ap Morphology AE Ap – 0-15 cm, sandy, light brownish gray (10YR 6/2), single grain, clear boundary, fine roots AE -16-46 cm, sandy, very pale brown (10YR 7/4), single grain, clear boundary, fine roots E1 - 46-58 cm, sandy, brownish yellow (10YR 6/6), single grain, clear boundary, few roots E2 – 59- 107 cm, sandy, yellow (10YR 7/6), single grain, clear boundary, few roots E3 – 107-142 cm, sandy, yellow (10YR 7/8) with light reddish brown pore linings and redox depletions, single grain structure, clear boundary Bt –142 -168 cm, loamy sand, light reddish brown (5YR 6/4) with Red (2.5YR 5/8) concretions (crunchy), weak structure, very friable, clear boundary E1 E2 E3 Bt

  6. Features Infiltration Rate: High Water enters and moves through the soil quickly Available Water: Very Low Not much water is available for plants Hydraulic Conductivity: Moderate Water moves through with moderate velocities in saturated conditions Slight limitation for Basements Moderate limitation for Septic tank absorption fields Slight limitation for Roads and street Season High Water Table 100-150cm Pore lining Redox depletions Redox concentration

  7. Soil Classification Epipedon: Ochric Subsurface Horizon: Kandic Order: Entisol

  8. South Site

  9. South SiteDitch Side Slope Upland cut drainageway Gentle Slope: 2-6% Slow Surface Runoff Low Erosion Potential Profile Location

  10. Morphology A1 – 0-18 cm, sandy, dark gray (10YR 4/1), single grain, clear smooth boundary, fine roots A2 -18-33 cm, sandy, grayish brown (10YR 5/2), single grain, clear smooth boundary, roots EA - 33-78 cm, sandy, yellow (10YR 7/8), single grain, clear smooth boundary, roots E1 – 78- 97 cm, sandy, very pale brown (10YR 7/3), single grain, clear smooth boundary, roots A1 A2 EA E1 • E2 – 97-121 cm, sandy, light gray (10YRYR 7/2), single grain structure, clear smooth boundary, roots • E3–121 -213 cm, sandy, light gray (10YR 7/2), single grain, clear smooth boundary , pore linings E2 E3 E3

  11. Features Infiltration Rate: High Water enters and moves through the soil quickly Available Water: Very Low Not much water is available for plants Hydraulic Conductivity: High Water moves through the soil quickly in saturated conditions A slight limitation for Basements A sever limitation for Septic tank absorption fields A slight limitation for Roads and street Season High Water Table: 160 cm Pore lining E3

  12. Soil Classification Epipedon: Ochric Subsurface Horizon: Albic Order: Entisol

  13. Comparison North Site South Site Near the Sand Ridge Min. Disturbance Moderately drained Sandy (80”+) Flatwoods Urban Disturbance Poorly drained Sandy (40”+) Questions?
