\<@27\>Associated Soils

\<@32\>The Wampee soils are commonly associated on the landscape with
Albany, Blanton, Bonneau, and Plummer soils.

-   \<@49\>The Albany soils have sandy surface and subsurface layers
    with a combined thickness of 40 to 80 inches.

-   \<@29\>The Blanton soils have sandy surface and subsurface layers
    with a combined thickness of 40 to 80 inches and are moderately well
    drained.

-   \<@29\>The Bonneau soils are well drained.

-   \<@29\>The Plummer soils have sandy surface and subsurface layers
    with a combined thickness of 40 to 80 inches and are poorly drained.

\<@27\>Typical Pedon

\<@32\>Wampee fine sand, in an area of Wampee-Blanton complex, 5 to 12
percent slopes; about 2,500 feet south and 200 feet east of a trail
road; about 1,500 feet south and 1,000 feet east of the northwest corner
of sec. 22, T. 6 S., R. 12 E.; Mallory Swamp NE, Florida, USGS
7.5-minute quadrangle; lat. 29 degrees, 57 minutes, 4 seconds north and
long. 83 degrees, 7 minutes, 5 seconds west.

\<@23\>Ap---0 to 6 inches; very dark gray (10YR 3/1) fine sand; weak
fine granular structure; very friable, nonsticky and nonplastic; many
fine roots; moderately acid; clear wavy boundary.

\<@33\>AE---6 to 12 inches; dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) fine sand;
single grain; loose, nonsticky and nonplastic; common fine roots;
strongly acid; gradual wavy boundary.

\<@33\>E1---12 to 21 inches; brown (10YR 5/3) fine sand; single grain;
loose, nonsticky and nonplastic; common fine roots; few fine distinct
yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) masses of iron accumulation; strongly acid;
gradual wavy boundary.

\<@33\>E2---21 to 32 inches; light brownish gray (10YR 6/2) sand; single
grain; loose, nonsticky and nonplastic; common fine roots; common medium
prominent dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/6) masses of iron accumulation;
strongly acid; clear wavy boundary.

\<@33\>Btg1---32 to 55 inches; gray (10YR 6/1) sandy clay loam; moderate
medium subangular blocky structure; friable, slightly sticky and
slightly plastic; common fine roots; many distinct white (10YR 8/1) sand
coats on surfaces of pores; about 2 percent, by volume, ironstone
nodules; many coarse prominent dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/6) masses of
iron accumulation; strongly acid; gradual wavy boundary.

\<@33\>Btg2---55 to 80 inches; light gray (10YR 7/2) sandy clay loam;
moderate medium subangular blocky structure; friable, slightly sticky
and slightly plastic; many distinct white (10YR 8/1) sand coats on
surfaces of pores; many coarse prominent brown (7.5YR 5/4) and brownish
yellow (10YR 6/6) masses of iron accumulation; strongly acid.

\<@27\>Range in Characteristics

\<@32\>The thickness of the solum ranges from 50 to more than 80 inches.
Reaction ranges from very strongly acid to neutral in the A and AE
horizons and from very strongly acid to slightly acid in the E, BE, Btg,
and Cg horizons.

\<@32\>The A or Ap horizon has hue of 10YR, value of 2 to 4, and chroma
of 1 or 2. The content of coarse fragments, mainly ironstone nodules,
quartz gravel, or weathered phosphatic limestone, ranges from 0 to 10
percent, by volume. The texture is sand, fine sand, loamy sand, or loamy
fine sand.

\<@32\>The AE horizon, where present, has hue of 10YR, value of 4 or 5,
and chroma of 1 to 4. The content of coarse fragments, mainly ironstone
nodules, quartz gravel, or weathered phosphatic limestone, ranges from 0
to 10 percent, by volume. The texture is sand or fine sand.

\<@32\>The E horizon has hue of 10YR, value of 4 to 7, and chroma of 1
to 6. The number of iron accumulations in shades of yellow or brown
ranges from none to common. The content of coarse fragments, mainly
ironstone nodules, quartz gravel, or weathered phosphatic limestone,
ranges from 2 to 30 percent, by volume. The texture is sand or fine
sand.

\<@32\>The upper part of the Btg or Bt horizon has hue of 10YR, value of
5 to 8, and chroma of 1 to 4; or it is neutral in hue and has value of 5
to 8. It has few or common redoximorphic features in shades of gray,
yellow, or brown. The content of coarse fragments, mainly ironstone
nodules, quartz gravel, or weathered phosphatic limestone, ranges from 2
to 30 percent, by volume. The texture is sandy clay loam or gravelly
sandy clay loam.

\<@32\>The lower part of the Btg horizon has hue of 10YR, value of 5 to
8, and chroma of 1 or 2; or it is neutral in hue and has value of 5 to
8. The number of redoximorphic features in shades of gray, yellow, red,
or brown ranges from none to common. The content of coarse fragments
ranges from 0 to 10 percent, by volume. The texture is sandy loam or
sandy clay loam.

\<@32\>Some pedons have a Cg horizon that has a range in color similar
to that of the Btg horizon. The texture ranges from loamy sand to clay.
