This study compares two soils at San Felasco State Park in North Central Florida, highlighting their properties, site characteristics, and erosion classifications. Soil 1 is an Upland Sandhill with high infiltration and a low water table, while Soil 2 is a Rolling Hardwood soil with moderate infiltration and a higher water table. The two soils differ in basement severity, site slope, canopy density, and erosion rate.
