SOIL HORIZON DESCRIPTION:
O: 0-2 cm; Leaves,
pods, branches
Ah1: 2-14/22 cm; Black
(10YR 2/1); silt loam; no rock fragments; strong very fine granular structure;
very friable; many fine and very fine roots; clear and wavy to:
Ah2: 14/22-47 cm; Very
dark grey (10YR 3/1); silt loam; no rock fragments; strong very fine subangular
blocky structure; friable to firm; common fine and very fine roots, few coarse
and medium roots; clear and smooth to.
2Bw/2R: 47-62 cm; Brown to dark
brown (10YR 4/3) and very dark grey (10YR 3/1); loam; 40-50% weathered angular
andesitic rock fragments; strong fine angular blocky to granular structure;
friable; few roots of all sizes; abrupt and smooth to:
2R: > 62 cm; Continuous,
partly weathered, andesitic rock.
WRB (2001):
mollic horizon (0-47 cm); cambic horizon (47-62 cm); no vitric horizon (Ah2
meets P-retention requirement, but is too shallow to be vitric); >40% silt
between 2 and 47 cm; continuous rock at 62 cm depth:
Silti-Endoleptic Phaeozem
ST (1999):
mollic epipedon (0-47 cm); cambic horizon (47-62 cm); no andic soil properties
(Alo + ½ Feo < 0.4%):
Fine-silty, mixed, superactive mesic Vitrandic
Haploxeroll
(if volcanic glass content is 13% or more)
Fine-silty, mixed, superactive mesic Ultic
Haploxeroll
(if volcanic glass content <13%
