\<@27\>Commonly Associated Soils

\<@30\>Goldsboro, Grady, Marlboro, and Norfolk soils are commonly
associated with the Clarendon series.

-   \<@49\>The Goldsboro soils are in positions similar to those of the
    Clarendon soils or slightly higher and have less than 5 percent
    plinthite.

-   \<@29\>The Grady soils are in the lower positions, are poorly
    drained, and have a fine control section.

-   \<@29\>The Marlboro soils are in the higher positions, are well
    drained, and have a fine control section.

-   \<@29\>The Norfolk soils are in the higher positions and are well
    drained.

\<@27\>Typical Pedon

\<@30\>Clarendon sandy loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes; about 500 feet south
of the Shellman city limit on Georgia Highway 41, about 160 feet west of
the highway; Randolph County, Georgia; USGS Doverel topographic
quadrangle; lat. 31 degrees 44 minutes 27.2 seconds N. and long. 84
degrees 36 minutes 52.9 seconds W., NAD27.

\<@23\>Ap---0 to 8 inches; very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) sandy
loam; weak medium granular structure; very friable; common fine and
medium roots; about 8 percent, by volume, iron-manganese concretions;
moderately acid; abrupt smooth boundary.

\<@33\>Bt1---8 to 20 inches; yellowish brown (10YR 5/8) sandy clay loam;
weak fine subangular blocky structure; friable; common fine and medium
roots; few faint clay films on faces of peds; about 5 percent, by

boundary.

\<@33\>Bt2---20 to 29 inches; yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) sandy clay
loam; weak medium subangular blocky structure; friable; common fine and

volume, plinthite; about 4 percent, by volume, iron-manganese
concretions; common medium distinct strong brown (7.5YR 4/6) and common
medium prominent red (2.5YR 4/8) masses in which iron has accumulated;
common medium distinct light brownish gray (10YR 6/2) areas from which
iron has depleted; strongly acid; clear wavy boundary.

\<@33\>Btv1---34 to 42 inches; yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) sandy clay
loam; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; friable; few fine
roots; common distinct clay films on faces of peds; about 10 percent, by
volume, plinthite; 2 percent, by volume, iron-manganese concretions;
common medium distinct light brownish gray (10YR 6/2) areas from which
iron has depleted; strongly acid; gradual wavy boundary.

\<@33\>Btv2---42 to 50 inches; pale brown (10YR 6/3) sandy clay loam;
moderate medium subangular blocky structure; friable; few fine roots;
common distinct clay films on faces of peds; about 5 percent, by volume,
plinthite; about 2 percent, by volume, iron-manganese concretions;
common medium distinct strong brown (7.5YR 5/6) and common medium
prominent red (2.5YR 4/8) masses in which iron has accumulated; strongly
acid; gradual wavy boundary.

\<@33\>Btv3---50 to 72 inches; pale brown (10YR 6/3) sandy clay loam;
moderate medium subangular blocky structure; friable; common distinct
continuous clay films on faces of peds; about 5 percent, by volume,
plinthite; about 2 percent, by volume, iron-manganese concretions; many
medium distinct strong brown (7.5YR 5/6) and many medium prominent red
