\<@37\>Plummer Series

\<@32\>The Plummer series consists of very deep, poorly drained,
moderately permeable soils that formed in sandy and loamy marine
sediments. These soils are on flats and in poorly defined drainageways
in the coastal lowlands and on the uplands. Slopes range from 0 to 5
percent. These soils are loamy, siliceous, subactive, thermic
Grossarenic Paleaquults.

\<@32\>Plummer soils are geographically associated with Alapaha, Albany,
Bibb, Chipley, Kinston, Leefield, Pansey, Pottsburg, Rutlege, and
Surrency soils. Alapaha and Leefield soils have an argillic horizon at a
depth of 20 to 40 inches. Also, Leefield soils are somewhat poorly
drained. Albany soils have an argillic horizon at a depth of 40 to 80
inches and are somewhat poorly drained. Bibb and Kinston soils are
stratified and very poorly drained. Chipley and Pottsburg soils are
sandy to a depth of at least 80 inches. Also, Chipley soils are somewhat
poorly drained and Pottsburg soils have a spodic horizon. Pansey soils
have an argillic horizon within a depth of 20 inches. Rutlege and
Surrency soils are very poorly drained.

\<@32\>Typical pedon of Plummer sand, 0 to 5 percent slopes; about 950
feet north and 3,000 feet east of the southwest corner of sec. 21, T. 1
S., R. 11 W.

\<@23\>A---0 to 8 inches; very dark gray (10YR 3/1) sand; weak fine
granular structure; very friable; common fine roots; extremely acid;
clear smooth boundary.

\<@33\>Eg1---8 to 16 inches; grayish brown (10YR 5/2) sand; single
grained; loose; few fine roots; very strongly acid; clear smooth
boundary.

\<@33\>Eg2---16 to 31 inches; light gray (2.5Y 7/2) sand; few fine
prominent strong brown (7.5YR 5/8) masses of iron accumulation; single
grained; loose; very strongly acid; clear smooth boundary.

\<@33\>Eg3---31 to 41 inches; light gray (2.5Y 7/2) sand; common fine
prominent brownish yellow (10YR 6/6) masses of iron accumulation; common
splotches of white (10YR 8/1) uncoated sand; single grained; loose; very
strongly acid; gradual smooth boundary.

\<@33\>Eg4---41 to 68 inches; light gray (2.5Y 7/2) sand; many medium
distinct pale yellow (2.5Y 7/4) and many fine prominent brownish yellow
(10YR 6/6) masses of iron accumulation; single grained; loose; very
strongly acid; clear smooth boundary.

\<@33\>Btg---68 to 80 inches; light gray (10YR 7/2) sandy loam; few
coarse distinct light yellowish brown (10YR 6/4) and few fine prominent
brownish yellow (10YR 6/8) masses of iron accumulation; weak coarse
subangular blocky structure; very friable; sand grains bridged and
coated with clay; very strongly acid.

\<@8\>The thickness of the solum ranges from 72 to 100 inches. Reaction
ranges from extremely acid to strongly acid throughout, except where
lime has been applied.

\<@32\>The A or Ap horizon has hue of 10YR or 2.5Y, value of 2 to 4, and
chroma of 1 or 2; or it is neutral in hue and has value of 2 to 4. Where
value is 2 or 3, the horizon is less than 8 inches thick.

\<@32\>The Eg horizon has hue of 10YR or 2.5Y, value of 5 to 8, and
chroma of 1 or 2; or it is neutral in hue and has value of 5 to 8. It
has few or common masses of iron accumulation in shades of yellow and
red. It is sand, fine sand, or loamy sand.

\<@32\>The BEg horizon, where present, has hue of 10YR to 5Y, value of 5
to 7, and chroma of 1 or 2; or it is neutral in hue and has value of 5
to 7. It is loamy sand or loamy fine sand.

\<@32\>The Btg horizon has hue of 10YR to 5Y, value of 5 to 7, and
chroma of 1 or 2; or it is neutral in hue and has value of 5 to 7. It
has few to many masses of iron accumulation in shades of yellow and red.
It is sandy loam, fine sandy loam, or sandy clay loam. In some pedons,
it has pockets of loamy sand and sandy clay. The Btg horizon is 13 to 35
percent clay.
