Pedological Analysis of Candler Sand in Osceola County: Spring 2010 Field Exercise

This report details a soil survey conducted in Osceola County during spring 2010, focusing on Candler sand with varying slopes. Key findings include soil profiles from two distinct sites, noting characteristics such as grain size, color, and redox features. The survey took place at two elevations (80 ft and 140 ft) and indicated a mean rainfall of 0.48 inches and a temperature of 74°F. Observations from both sites reveal unique attributes of the soil horizon, aiding in understanding regional pedology and implications for local agriculture and landscaping.
