Contrasting Soils in North Central Florida: A Study at San Felasco State Park

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.

  7. Soil 1 Description Soil Properties -High infiltration -High hydraulic conductivity -Very low available water -Seasonal high water table >150cm -Basement: slight, Septic tank: severe, Roads: slight Site Characteristics -Upland -Marine -Nearly Level -Very Slow Runoff -Very Low Erosion Classification: Entisol

  8. Soil 2: Rolling Hardwood • Steep slope, dense hardwoods, thick canopy,
