| + | ◊ Broad Ridges\\ | ||
| + | θ Narrow Ridges\\ | ||
| + | Wet: Periods of excessive moisture due to periodic flooding, perched water tables (pans), and poor | ||
| + | drainage. Presence of mottled soils.\\ | ||
| + | Moist: Well drained soils, but with sufficient moisture to maximize tree growth throughout the year. | ||
| + | Usually associated with loamy soils with some moisture retaining clays in the sub-soil.\\ | ||
| + | Dry: Sites with insufficient moisture for maximum tree growth at least part of the year, due to | ||
| + | excessive drainage and/or topographic position.\\ | ||
| + | Droughty: Excessively drained, usually very shallow, except for deep sands. Insufficient moisture | ||
| + | for quality hardwood tree growth.\\ | ||
| + | Texture: The relative proportions of the various soil separates in soil material.\\ | ||
| + | Examples: | ||
| + | Fine- usually associated with clay textured soils. | ||
| + | Medium- usually associated with loamy textured soils. | ||
| + | Coarse- usually associated with sandy textured soils. | ||
| + | Skeletal - A soil with more than 35% by volume of gravelly | ||
| + | (<3" diameter) or cobbly (3-10" diameter) material. | ||
