Describer: D. Kohake, B. Wehmueller, C. Remley, J. Hellerich | County: Riley |
Site ID: S2014KS161603 | MLRA: 76 -- Bluestem Hills |
Site Note: This site was sampled as a representative soil for the NEON instrumentation located in the Konza Prairie Biological Experiment Station. This site is located in an agricultural field that was currently in wheat stubble. The map unit describes the site as rarely flooded. Most agreed that the site was either rarely or possibly even very rarely flooded. | Soil Survey Area: KS161 -- Riley County, Kansas 5-SAL -- Salina, Kansas |
Pedon ID: S2014KS161503 | Map Unit: 4350 -- Chase silty clay loam, rarely flooded |
Pedon Note: This pedon description was classified as a Pachic Vertic Argiudoll which is a taxadjunct to the Chase series. It was felt that this Chase pedon would not have aquic conditions. It was also felt that it would not meet the requirements of oxyaquic (saturation for 20 or more consecutive days or 30 or more cumulative days) during normal years. The organoargillans that were described in the lower horizons were along old large root channels that were from before this field was farmed. | Quad Name: Swede Creek, Kansas |
