This soil survey contains information that affects land use planning in this survey

area. It contains predictions of soil behavior for selected land uses. The survey also

highlights soil limitations, improvements needed to overcome the limitations, and the

impact of selected land uses on the environment.

This soil survey is designed for many different users. Farmers, ranchers, foresters,

and agronomists can use it to evaluate the potential of the soil and the management

needed for maximum food and fiber production. Planners, community officials,

engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers can use the survey to plan land

use, select sites for construction, and identify special practices needed to ensure

proper performance. Conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in

recreation, wildlife management, waste disposal, and pollution control can use the

survey to help them understand, protect, and enhance the environment.

Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose

special restrictions on land use or land treatment. The information in this report is

intended to identify soil properties that are used in making various land use or land

treatment decisions. Statements made in this report are intended to help the land

users identify and reduce the effects of soil limitations on various land uses. The

landowner or user is responsible for identifying and complying with existing laws and

regulations.

Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are

seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a

foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as septic

tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to basements or

underground installations.

These and many other soil properties that affect land use are described in this soil

survey. Broad areas of soils are shown on the general soil map. The location of each

soil is shown on the detailed soil maps. Each soil in the survey area is described.

Information on specific uses is given for each soil. Help in using this publication and

additional information are available at the local office of the Natural Resources

Conservation Service or the Cooperative Extension Service.

BARBOUR COUNTY is in the southeastern part of

Alabama (fig. 1). The total area of the county is

578,540 acres, or about 885 square miles. About

565,650 acres consists of land areas and small

bodies of water, and about 12,890 acres consists of

large areas of water in the form of lakes and rivers.

The county is bordered by Pike and Bullock Counties

to the west, Russell and Bullock Counties to the

north, Henry and Dale Counties to the south, and the

Chattahoochee River to the east. Barbour County is

mostly rural. In 2001, the population of the county was

28,947 (USDC, 2000).

The major land use in the county is forestry. A

significant acreage is also used for cultivated crops,

pasture, and hayland. The major crops are peanuts,

cotton, and corn. The major kinds of livestock are beef

cattle and hogs.

Barbour County makes up part of two Major Land

Resource Areas: the Southern Coastal Plain and the

Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas Blackland

Prairie. Soils in the Southern Coastal Plain range from

sandy to clayey and from somewhat excessively

drained to very poorly drained. The topography in this

area is varied, ranging from highly dissected uplands

that have high relief to broad, nearly level stream

terraces and flood plains along the Chattahoochee

and Pea Rivers and other major streams. Soils in the

Blackland Prairie area, which is in the northeastern

part of the county, are dominantly clayey. The

topography in this area is generally smooth to gently

rolling with low relief.

This survey updates an earlier soil survey of

Barbour County published in 1914 (Smith and others,

1914). It provides additional information and larger

maps, which show the soils in greater detail.

General Nature of the County

This section provides information about the survey

area. It describes early history and development;

transportation facilities; natural resources;

physiography, relief, and drainage; and climate.

Early History and Development

The early settlers in Barbour County were of

Scottish, English, and Irish descent. They came

largely from the eastern states.

Agriculture began in Barbour County in 1832 and

was mainly of the subsistence type for a long time.

The early methods of agriculture were wasteful. Land

was cropped until the yields declined, and then the

land was allowed to revert to forest and fresh land

was cleared. The success of this early agriculture was

made possible by the abundance of cheap land and

cheap labor. In 1879, cotton was grown on 100,442

acres, corn on 61,822 acres, and oats on 10,264

acres. The mild climate permitted a successive growth

of vegetables throughout the year. Hay crops were

comparatively unimportant in Barbour County,

although there were many legumes, grasses, and

forage crops that could be grown for that purpose.

System, the Alabama Soil and Water Conservation Committee, and the Alabama

Department of Agriculture and Industries
2 Soil Survey

Hogs and poultry were found on every farm, and more

than 13,356 hogs were slaughtered or sold in 1909.

The livestock was generally of inferior grade and

poorly cared for, especially during the winter month. A

large part of the dairy and beef products consumed

locally was produced in-county. In 1880, the county

contained 3,110 farms averaging 165 acres in size. In

1910, there were 4,606 farms averaging 92 acres in

size.

Transportation Facilities

Over the past 170 years or more, the major mode

of transportation progressed from horse and wagon to

steamboat, railroad, and automobile. Each shift

brought a readjustment of the settlement patterns and

economy of the county.

Today, the major highways serving Barbour County

are U.S. Highway 431, which runs north-south

through Eufaula, and U.S. Highway 82, which runs

east-west from Georgia, through Eufaula, and then on

to Bullock County. Alabama Highway 10 runs eastwest through Blue Springs and Clio; Alabama

Highway 51 runs north-south through Clayton,

Louisville, Clio, and Elamville; Alabama Highway 131

runs east-west through Bakerhill and Texasville;

Alabama Highway 30 runs east-west from Eufaula to

Clayton; and Alabama Highway 239 runs east-west

from Clayton to Bullock County.

Barbour County is presently served by one

railroad, which provides freight services from White

Oaks to Georgia. A municipal airport near Eufaula

serves small private and commercial aircraft. The

Chattahoochee River has been a major avenue of

transportation throughout the history of the county. It

is navigable throughout its length in Barbour County.

Natural Resources

Agriculture and forest products have sustained the

economy of the county over recorded history. The

county has also had some textile manufacturing and a

few other small industries. Where cotton once was

king, the main agriculture pursuit today is peanut

production. Cattle and hog productions are scattered

throughout the county, and significant growth can be

seen in the pond-raised catfish industry.

Timber is produced on about 80 percent of the land

area in the county. Timber provides raw materials for

local sawmills and pulp and paper producers. It also

provides habitat for wild game, such as wild turkey

and white-tailed deer. The game attract hunters from

across the nation. Loblolly pine has largely replaced

the longleaf pine and shortleaf pine that were

harvested by the early settlers.

Physiography, Relief, and Drainage

Barbour County is in the Coastal Plain section

physiographic province. This area of the coastal plain

is characterized by strongly dissected, nearly level

and gently sloping to steep, upland topography. The

soils formed during the Late Cretaceous to Recent

ages. They are of sedimentary origin and consist

chiefly of sand, gravel, silt, sandstone, and limestone.

The geologic units in the county, from oldest to

youngest, are: Blufftown and Ripley Formations and

Providence Sand of Cretaceous age; Clayton and

Nanafalia Formations, Tuscahoma Sand, and

Hatchetigbee and Tallahatta Formations of Tertiary

age; and terrace and alluvial deposits of Pleistocene

and Recent age. The combined thickness of these

geologic units generally ranges from 300 feet in the

Figure 1.—Location of Barbour County in Alabama.
Barbour County, Alabama 3

northern part of the county to 1,300 feet in the

southern part (Newton, 1965).

Barbour County lies on the remnants of a

southward sloping plain. In the northern part, it has a

rolling to hilly surface. The northern part has been

affected by lateral or tributary streams draining into

the Chattahoochee River. These streams reduced the

northern part of the county to rolling or undulating.

Farther south is an elongated belt of rough country.

This belt should be regarded as extending southward,

with a width extending from the head of the

Chattahoochee drainage eastward to within 5 to 7

miles of the Chattahoochee River. East of the belt lies

a rolling country that is similar to the northern part of

the county. An outlying portion of the belt that is

locally called “The Mountains” is the roughest land in

the county.

An important physiographic feature of the

Chattahoochee Valley is terraces that formed as

bottomlands. The highest of these terraces is 140 feet

above the river. The terraces are invariably broad in

proportion to the current first bottoms. At Eufaula and

several other places on the river, the ascent from the

first bottom to the first terrace is a steep bluff 50 to

100 feet high. The first terrace is level to very gently

undulating, and the second terrace is higher and less

extensive than the first. Remnants of a former third

and fourth terrace exist. Little other than elevation

distinguishes them from the contiguous eroded

uplands.

The streams in Barbour County drain into the

Chattahoochee River, except in the southwestern part

of the county, where they drain into the Pea River.

Climate

Barbour County has long, hot summers because

moist tropical air from the Gulf of Mexico persistently

covers the area. Winters are cool and fairly short.

Precipitation is fairly heavy throughout the year, and

prolonged droughts are rare. Summer precipitation,

mainly in the form of afternoon thunderstorms, is

usually adequate for all locally grown crops.

Severe local storms, including tornadoes, strike

occasionally in or near the area. They are short in

duration and cause variable and spotty damage.

Every few years in summer and fall, a tropical

depression or remnant of a hurricane that moved

inland will cause extremely heavy rains for 1 to 3

days.

Table 1 gives data on temperature and precipitation

for the survey area as recorded at Clayton, Alabama,

in the period 1961 to 1990.

In winter, the average temperature is 49 degrees F

and the average daily minimum temperature is 38

degrees. The lowest temperature on record, which

occurred on January 21, 1985, is -1 degrees. In

summer, the average temperature is 79 degrees and

the average daily maximum temperature is 90

degrees. The highest recorded temperature, which

occurred on July 24, 1952, is 107 degrees.

Growing degree days are shown in table 1. They

are equivalent to “heat units.” During the month,

growing degree days accumulate by the amount that

the average temperature each day exceeds a base

temperature (40 degrees F). The normal monthly

accumulation is used to schedule single or

successive plantings of a crop between the last

freeze in spring and the first freeze in fall.

The total annual precipitation is about 52 inches. Of

this, 25 inches, or 48 percent, usually falls in April

through September. The growing season for most

crops falls within this period. In 2 years out of 10, the

rainfall in April through September is less than 14

inches. The heaviest 1-day rainfall during the period of

record was 5.7 inches on April 1, 1981.

Thunderstorms occur on about 56 days each year,

and most occur in July.

The average seasonal snowfall is about 0.6 inch.

The greatest snow depth at any one time during the

period of record was 11 inches. In most years, 0 days

have at least 1 inch of snow on the ground. The

number of such days varies greatly from year to year.

The average relative humidity in midafternoon is

about 56 percent. Humidity is higher at night, and the

average at dawn is about 86 percent. The sun shines

63 percent of the time possible in summer and 51

percent in winter. The prevailing wind is from the

south. Average windspeed is highest, 8 miles per

hour, in spring.

How This Survey Was Made

This survey was made to provide information about

the soils and miscellaneous areas in the survey area.

The information includes a description of the soils and

miscellaneous areas and their location and a

discussion of their suitability, limitations, and

management for specified uses. Soil scientists

observed the steepness, length, and shape of the

slopes; the general pattern of drainage; and the kinds

of crops and native plants. They dug many holes to

study the soil profile, which is the sequence of natural

layers, or horizons, in a soil. The profile extends from

the surface down into the unconsolidated material in

which the soil formed. The unconsolidated material is

devoid of roots and other living organisms and has

not been changed by other biological activity.
4 Soil Survey

The soils and miscellaneous areas in the survey

area are in an orderly pattern that is related to the

geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural

vegetation of the area. Each kind of soil and

miscellaneous area is associated with a particular

kind of landform or with a segment of the landform. By

observing the soils and miscellaneous areas in the

survey area and relating their position to specific

segments of the landform, a soil scientist develops a

concept or model of how they were formed. Thus,

during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist

to predict with a considerable degree of accuracy the

kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a specific

location on the landscape.

Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge

into one another as their characteristics gradually

change. To construct an accurate soil map, however,

soil scientists must determine the boundaries

between the soils. They can observe only a limited

number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these

observations, supplemented by an understanding of

the soil-vegetation-landscape relationship, are

sufficient to verify predictions of the kinds of soil in an

area and to determine the boundaries.

Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the

soil profiles that they studied. They noted soil color,

texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and

amount of rock fragments, distribution of plant roots,

reaction, and other features that enable them to

identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey

area and determining their properties, the soil

scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes

(units). Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each

taxonomic class has a set of soil characteristics with

precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a

basis for comparison to classify soils systematically.

Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic classification

used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind

and character of soil properties and the arrangement

of horizons within the profile. After the soil scientists

classified and named the soils in the survey area,

they compared the individual soils with similar soils in

the same taxonomic class in other areas so that they

could confirm data and assemble additional data

based on experience and research.

While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some

of the soils in the area generally are collected for

laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil

scientists interpret the data from these analyses and

tests as well as the field-observed characteristics and

the soil properties to determine the expected behavior

of the soils under different uses. Interpretations for all

of the soils are field tested through observation of the

soils in different uses and under different levels of

management. Some interpretations are modified to fit

local conditions, and some new interpretations are

developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled

from other sources, such as research information,

production records, and field experience of

specialists. For example, data on crop yields under

defined levels of management are assembled from

farm records and from field or plot experiments on the

same kinds of soil.

Predictions about soil behavior are based not only

on soil properties but also on such variables as

climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are

predictable over long periods of time, but they are not

predictable from year to year. For example, soil

scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of

accuracy that a given soil will have a high water table

within certain depths in most years, but they cannot

predict that a high water table will always be at a

specific level in the soil on a specific date.

After soil scientists located and identified the

significant natural bodies of soil in the survey area,

they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial

photographs and identified each as a specific map

unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings, fields,

roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating

boundaries accurately.

Soil Survey Procedures

The general procedures followed in making this

survey are described in the National Soil Survey

Handbook (USDA, 2002b) of the Natural Resource

Conservation Service. The “Soil Survey of Barbour

County,” published in 1914 (Smith and others, 1914),

and the “Geologic Map of Barbour County, Alabama”

(Newton, 1965) were among the references used.

Before the fieldwork began, preliminary boundaries

of landforms were plotted stereoscopically on high

altitude aerial photographs. U.S. Geologic Survey

topographic maps and aerial photographs were

studied to relate land and image features.

Traverses were made on foot and vehicle, mostly at

intervals of about one-fourth mile. They were made at

closer intervals in areas of high variability. Soil

examinations along the traverse were made at 50,

100, and 300 feet apart, depending on the landscape

and soil pattern (Steers and Hajek, 1979).

Observations of landforms, uprooted trees,

vegetation, roadbanks, and animal burrows were

made continuously without regard to spacing. Soil

boundaries were determined on the basis of soil

examinations, observations, and photo interpretation.
Barbour County, Alabama 5

The soil material was examined with the aid of a

spade, a hand auger, or a truck-mounted probe to a

depth of 6 feet or more. The pedons described as

typical were observed and studied in excavations.

Samples for chemical and physical analyses and

for engineering test data were taken from the site of

the typical pedons of some of the major soils in the

survey area. The analyses were made by the

Agronomy and Soil Clay Mineralogy Laboratory,

Auburn University, Auburn, Alabama, and by the

Alabama Department of Highways and

Transportation, Montgomery, Alabama. The results of

some of the analyses and the laboratory procedures

can be obtained from the laboratories.

High-altitude aerial photography base maps at a

scale of 1:24,000 were used for mapping of soils and

surface drainage in the field. Cultural features were

transferred from U.S. Geological Survey 7.5 minute

series topographic maps and were recorded from

visual observations. Soil mapping, drainage patterns,

and cultural features recorded on base maps were

then transferred to half-tone film positives by

cartographic technicians before the final map-finishing

process.

The general soil map in this publication shows

broad areas that have a distinctive pattern of soils,

relief, and drainage. Each map unit on the general soil

map is a unique natural landscape. Typically, it

consists of one or more major soils or miscellaneous

areas and some minor soils or miscellaneous areas. It

is named for the major soils or miscellaneous areas.

The components of one map unit can occur in

another but in a different pattern.

The general soil map can be used to compare the

suitability of large areas for general land uses. Areas

of suitable soils can be identified on the map. Likewise,

areas where the soils are not suitable can be identified.

Because of its small scale, the map is not suitable

for planning the management of a farm or field or for

selecting a site for a road or building or other

structure. The soils in any one map unit differ from

place to place in slope, depth, drainage, and other

characteristics that affect management.

Each map unit is rated for cultivated crops, pasture

and hayland, woodland, and urban uses. Cultivated

crops are those grown extensively in the survey area.

Pasture and hayland refers to improved, locally grown

grasses and legumes. Woodland refers to native or

introduced trees. Urban uses include residential,

commercial, and industrial developments.

The boundaries of the general soil map units in

Barbour County were matched, where possible, with

those of the previously completed surveys of Bullock,

Henry, Pike, and Russell Counties. In a few areas,

however, the lines do not join and the names of the

map units differ. These differences are mainly the

result of changes in soil series concepts, differences

in map unit design, and changes in soil patterns near

survey areas boundaries.

The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps

in this survey represent the soils or miscellaneous

areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions in

this section, along with the maps, can be used to

determine the suitability and potential of a unit for

specific uses. They also can be used to plan the

management needed for those uses.

A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an

area dominated by one or more major kinds of soil or

miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and

named according to the taxonomic classification of

the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic class there are

precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils.

On the landscape, however, the soils are natural

phenomena, and they have the characteristic

variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range

of some observed properties may extend beyond the

limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of

a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be

mapped without including areas of other taxonomic

classes. Consequently, every map unit is made up of

the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named

and some minor components that belong to

taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils.

Most minor soils have properties similar to those of

the dominant soil or soils in the map unit, and thus

they do not affect use and management. These are

called noncontrasting, or similar, components. They

may or may not be mentioned in a particular map unit

description. Other minor components, however, have

properties and behavioral characteristics divergent

enough to affect use or to require different

management. These are called contrasting, or

dissimilar, components. They generally are in small

areas and could not be mapped separately because

of the scale used. Some small areas of strongly

contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified

by a special symbol on the maps. The contrasting

components are mentioned in the map unit

descriptions. A few areas of minor components may

not have been observed, and consequently they are

not mentioned in the descriptions, especially where

the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to

make enough observations to identify all the soils and

miscellaneous areas on the landscape.

The presence of minor components in a map unit

in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of

the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate

pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the

landscape into landforms or landform segments that

have similar use and management requirements. The

delineation of such segments on the map provides

sufficient information for the development of resource

plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned,

however, onsite investigation is needed to define and

locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.

An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name

in the map unit descriptions. Each description

includes general facts about the unit and gives the

principal hazards and limitations to be considered in

planning for specific uses.

Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make

up a soil series. Except for differences in texture of

the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major

horizons that are similar in composition, thickness,

and arrangement.

Soils of one series can differ in texture of the

surface layer, slope, stoniness, degree of erosion, and

other characteristics that affect their use. On the basis

of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil

phases. Most of the areas shown on the detailed soil

maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil

phase commonly indicates a feature that affects use

or management. For example, Lucy loamy sand, 0 to

5 percent slopes, is a phase of the Lucy series.

Some map units are made up of two or more major

soils or miscellaneous areas. These map units are

complexes or undifferentiated groups.

A complex consists of two or more soils or

miscellaneous areas in such an intricate pattern or in

such small areas that they cannot be shown

separately on the maps. The pattern and proportion of

the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat

similar in all areas. Springhill-Nankin complex, 15 to

25 percent slopes, is an example.

An undifferentiated group is made up of two or

more soils or miscellaneous areas that could be

mapped individually but are mapped as one unit

because similar interpretations can be made for use

and management. The pattern and proportion of the

Detailed Soil Map Units
18 Soil Survey

soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are

not uniform. An area can be made up of only one of

the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be

made up of all of them. Mantachie, Kinston, and Iuka

soils, 0 to 1 percent slopes, frequently flooded, is an

undifferentiated group in this survey area.

This survey includes miscellaneous areas. Such

areas have little or no soil material and support little

or no vegetation. Pits is an example.

Table 2 gives the acreage and proportionate extent

of each map unit. Other tables give properties of the

soils and the limitations, capabilities, and potentials

for many uses. The Glossary defines many of the

terms used in describing the soils or miscellaneous

areas.

Suitability: Well suited

Productivity class: High for loblolly pine

Management concerns: Rutting, road suitability, and

mechanical planting

Management measures and considerations:

• Using equipment that has wide tires or crawler-type

equipment improves trafficability, minimizes rutting,

helps to maintain road stability, and facilitates

mechanical planting.

• Site preparation practices, such as chopping,

prescribed burning, and applying herbicides, help to

Wildlife habitat

Potential to support habitat for: Openland wildlife—

fair; woodland wildlife—fair; wetland wildlife—very

poor

Management concerns: Low fertility; droughtiness

Management measures and considerations:

• Openland wildlife habitat can be improved by

leaving undisturbed areas of vegetation around

cropland and pasture. These areas provide wildlife

with food and a place to rest.

• Woodland wildlife habitat can be improved by

planting or encouraging the growth of oak trees and

suitable understory plants. Prescribed burning every

three years, rotated among several small tracts of

land, can increase the amount of palatable browse for

deer and the number of seed-producing plants for

quail and turkey.

• Where suitable areas are present, wetland wildlife

habitat can be improved by constructing shallow

ponds that provide open water areas for waterfowl

and furbearers.

Land Use

Dominant uses: Woodland

Other uses: Wildlife habitat

Cropland

Suitability: Unsuited

Management concerns: Steep slopes

Pasture and hayland

Suitability: Suited to pasture and poorly suited to

hayland

Commonly grown crops: Coastal bermudagrass and

bahiagrass

Management concerns: Erosion and equipment use
36 Soil Survey

Management measures and considerations:

• Preparing seedbeds on the contour or across the

slope reduces the hazard of erosion and increases

the germination rate.

• Slope limits equipment use in the steeper areas.

Woodland

Suitability: Cowarts—well suited; Maubila—suited

Productivity class: Cowarts—high for loblolly pine;

Maubila—moderate for loblolly pine

Management concerns: Haul roads, log landings,

rutting, erosion, road suitability, mechanical

planting, and mechanical site preparation;

Maubila—erosion, equipment, seedling mortality,

and plant competition

Management measures and considerations:

• Constructing roads, fire lanes, and skid trails on the

contour and establishing permanent plant cover on

roads and landings following logging operations

reduce the hazard of erosion, help to control siltation

of streams, facilitate the use of haul roads and log

landings, and maintain road suitability.

• Using equipment that has wide tires or crawler-type

equipment minimizes rutting and compaction and

facilitates mechanical planting and mechanical site

preparation.

• Site preparation practices, such as chopping,

prescribed burning, and applying herbicides, help to

control competition from undesirable plants.

Wildlife habitat

Potential of the Cowarts soil to support habitat for:

Openland wildlife—fair; woodland wildlife—good;

wetland wildlife—very poor

Potential of the Maubila soil to support habitat for:

Openland wildlife—fair; woodland wildlife—good;

wetland wildlife—very poor

Management concerns: Erosion

Management measures and considerations:

• Openland wildlife habitat can be improved by

leaving undisturbed areas of vegetation around

cropland and pasture. These areas provide wildlife

with food and a place to rest.

• Woodland wildlife habitat can be improved by

planting or encouraging the growth of oak trees and

suitable understory plants. Prescribed burning every

three years, rotated among several small tracts of

land, can increase the amount of palatable browse for

deer and the number of seed-producing plants for

quail and turkey.

• Openland wildlife habitat is very difficult to establish

because of the steep slopes and the variability of the

soils.

Dwellings

Suitability: Poorly suited

Management concerns: Cowarts—slope; Maubila—

slope and depth to a saturated zone

Management measures and considerations:

• Designing structures to conform to the natural

slope, utilizing the less sloping areas, and cutting and

filling help to overcome the slope limitations.

• A site that does not include areas of the Maubila

soil should be selected.

Septic tank absorption fields

Suitability: Poorly suited

Management concerns: Cowarts—slope and

restricted permeability; Maubila—slope, restricted

less sloping areas improves system performance.

• If possible, a site that does not include areas of the

Maubila soil should be selected.

• The local health department can be contacted for

additional guidance regarding sanitary facilities.

Local roads and streets

Suitability: Poorly suited

Management concerns: Cowarts—slope; Maubila—

low strength, depth to a saturated zone, and slope

Management measures and considerations:

• Designing roads to conform to the natural contour

and cutting and filling help to overcome the slope

limitations.

• Incorporating sand and gravel into the roadbed,

constructing roads on raised beds, and compacting

the roadbed improve soil strength and help to

overcome the depth to a saturated zone.

Lawns and landscaping

Suitability: Poorly suited

Management concerns: Cowarts—slope; Maubila—

slope, large stones, and depth to a saturated

Land Use

Dominant uses: Cropland

Other uses: Woodland, pasture, and hayland

Cropland

Suitability: Well suited

Commonly grown crops: Peanuts and cotton

Management concerns: Erodibility

Management measures and considerations:

• Terraces and diversions, stripcropping, contour

tillage, no-till planting, and crop residue management

reduce the hazard of erosion, help to control surface

runoff, and maximize rainfall infiltration.

Pasture and hayland

Commonly grown crops: Coastal bermudagrass and

bahiagrass

Management concerns: Erosion

Management measures and considerations:

• Preparing seedbeds on the contour or across the

slope reduces the hazard of erosion and increases

the germination rate.

Woodland

Suitability: Well suited

Productivity class: High for loblolly pine

Management concerns: Rutting and erosion

Management measures and considerations:

• Using equipment that has wide tires or crawler-type

equipment minimizes rutting and compaction.

• Establishing permanent cover on roads and landings

following logging operations reduces the hazard of

erosion and helps to control siltation of streams.

Management measures and considerations:

• Openland wildlife habitat can be improved by

leaving undisturbed areas of vegetation around

cropland and pasture. These areas provide wildlife

with food and a place to rest.

• Woodland wildlife habitat can be improved by

planting or encouraging the growth of oak trees and

suitable understory plants. Prescribed burning every

three years, rotated among several small tracts of

land, can increase the amount of palatable browse for

deer and the number of seed-producing plants for

quail and turkey.

reduces the slippage and rutting caused by the high

content of sand in the Lucy soil.

• Slope can limit equipment use in the steeper areas.

Woodland

Suitability: Well suited

Productivity class: High for loblolly pine

Management concerns: Haul roads, log landings,

rutting, erosion, road suitability, mechanical

planting, and mechanical site preparation

Management measures and considerations:

• Constructing roads, fire breaks, and skid trails on

the contour and establishing permanent cover on

roads and landings following logging operations

reduce the hazard of erosion and help to control

siltation of streams.

• Restricting timber operations to the drier periods

and using equipment that has wide tires or crawlertype equipment minimize rutting and compaction and

help to maintain haul roads, log landings, and roads.

• Restricting site preparation to the less sloping areas

and planting by hand help to overcome the limitations

for mechanical site preparation and mechanical

planting.

• Site preparation practices, such as chopping,

prescribed burning, and applying herbicides, help to

control competition from undesirable plants.

Wildlife habitat

Potential of the Nankin soil to support habitat for:

This soil survey is an inventory and evaluation of

the soils in the survey area. It can be used to adjust

land uses to the limitations and potentials of natural

resources and the environment. Also, it can help to

prevent soil-related failures in land uses.

In preparing a soil survey, soil scientists,

conservationists, engineers, and others collect

extensive field data about the nature and behavioral

characteristics of the soils. They collect data on

erosion, droughtiness, flooding, and other factors that

affect various soil uses and management. Field

experience and collected data on soil properties and

performance are used as a basis in predicting soil

behavior.

Information in this section can be used to plan the

use and management of soils for crops and pasture;

as forestland; as sites for buildings, sanitary facilities,

highways and other transportation systems, and

parks and other recreational facilities; for agricultural

waste management; and as wildlife habitat. It can be

used to identify the potentials and limitations of each

soil for specific land uses and to help prevent

construction failures caused by unfavorable soil

properties.

Planners and others using soil survey information

can evaluate the effect of specific land uses on

productivity and on the environment in all or part of

the survey area. The survey can help planners to

maintain or create a land use pattern in harmony with

the natural soil.

Contractors can use this survey to locate sources

of sand and gravel, roadfill, and topsoil. They can use

it to identify areas where wetness or very firm soil

layers can cause difficulty in excavation.

Health officials, highway officials, engineers, and

others may also find this survey useful. The survey

can help them plan the safe disposal of wastes and

locate sites for pavements, sidewalks, campgrounds,

playgrounds, lawns, and trees and shrubs.

Interpretive Ratings

The interpretive tables in this survey rate the soils

in the survey area for various uses. Many of the tables

identify the limitations that affect specified uses and

indicate the severity of those limitations. The ratings in

these tables are both verbal and numerical.

Rating Class Terms

Rating classes are expressed in the tables in terms

that indicate the extent to which the soils are limited

by all of the soil features that affect a specified use or

in terms that indicate the suitability of the soils for the

use. Thus, the tables may show limitation classes or

suitability classes. Terms for the limitation classes are

not limited, somewhat limited, and very limited. The

suitability ratings are expressed as well suited,

moderately suited, poorly suited, and unsuited or as

good, fair, and poor.

Numerical Ratings

Numerical ratings in the tables indicate the relative

severity of individual limitations. The ratings are

shown as decimal fractions ranging from 0.00 to 1.00.

They indicate gradations between the point at which a

soil feature has the greatest negative impact on the

use and the point at which the soil feature is not a

limitation. The limitations appear in order from the

most limiting to the least limiting. Thus, if more than

one limitation is identified, the most severe limitation

is listed first and the least severe one is listed last.

Crops and Pasture

Kenneth M. Rogers and Bennie L. Moore, conservation

agronomists, Natural Resources Conservation Services,

assisted in the preparation of this section.

General management needed for crops and

pasture is suggested in this section. The estimated

yields of the main crops and pasture plants are listed,

the system of land capability classification used by

the Natural Resources Conservation Service is

explained, and prime farmland is described.

Planners of management systems for individual

fields or farms should consider the detailed

information given in the description of each soil under

the heading “Detailed Soil Map Units.” Specific

information can be obtained from the local office of

the Natural Resources Conservation Service or the

Cooperative Extension Service.

Use and Management of the Soils
88 Soil Survey

In 2002, Barbour County had approximately 58,300

acres of cropland, 5,200 acres of hay, and 26,500

acres of pasture (Alabama Agricultural Statistics

Service, 2002). In 1995, approximately 5,740 acres of

cotton, 1,700 acres of corn, 7,730 acres of peanuts,

1,000 acres of wheat, and 600 acres of soybeans

were planted in the county. A small acreage of truck

crops were grown in the central and west-central

parts of the county. The total acreage used for

cultivated crops and pasture has been decreasing

slightly for several years. The current trend is toward

the conversion of marginal cropland to woodland.

The potential in Barbour County for increased

production of food and fiber is good. Yields could be

increased in cultivated areas if the most current

technology was applied. This soil survey can help

land users make sound land-management decisions

and facilitate the application of crop production

technology.

The field crops that are suited to the soils and

climate in Barbour County include many crops that

are not commonly grown because of economic

considerations. Cotton, peanuts, and corn are the

main row crops. Grain sorghum, vegetable crops,

and similar crops can be grown if economic

conditions are favorable. Wheat, rye, and oats are

the only close-growing crops planted for grain

production, although barley can be grown. The

specialty crops grown in the county include sweet

corn, peas, okra, melons, blueberries, and sod.

Many of the soils in the county, including Dothan,

Greenville, and Orangeburg soils, are well suited to

specialty crops. If economic conditions are

favorable, a large acreage of these crops can be

grown. Pecans and blueberries are the only orchard

crops that are grown commercially in the county.

Additional information regarding specialty crops can

be obtained from the local office of the Cooperative

Extension System or the Natural Resources

Conservation Service.

Soil erosion is a major concern on about one-third

of the cropland and one-half of the pastureland in

Barbour County (USDA, 2002a). Where the slope is

more than two percent, erosion is a hazard. Examples

of soils that are cultivated and are subject to

accelerated erosion include Conecuh, Cowarts,

Greenville, Hannon, Luverne, Nankin, Oktibbeha, and

Springhill soils. Erosion can reduce productivity and

can result in the pollution of streams. Productivity is

reduced as the surface layer erodes and more of the

subsoil is incorporated into the plow layer. Loss of the

surface layer is especially damaging on soils that

have a clayey subsoil, such as Conecuh, Hannon,

Luverne, and Oktibbeha soils, and on soils that have

a layer in the subsoil that restricts rooting depth, such

as the Cowarts soils. Controlling erosion on farmland

minimizes the pollution of streams and improves the

quality of water for municipal uses, for recreational

uses, and for fish and wildlife.

Erosion-control practices provide a protective plant

cover, increase the rate of water infiltration, and help

to control runoff. A cropping system that keeps plant

cover and crop residue on the surface for extended

periods can hold soil losses to amounts that do not

reduce the productive capacity of the soils. Including

legumes and grasses in the cropping system helps to

control erosion and improves tilth for the crops that

follow in the rotation. The legumes also increase the

nitrogen levels in the soils.

Applying a system of conservation tillage and

leaving crop residue on the surface increase the rate

of water infiltration and help to control runoff and

erosion. Using a no-till method of planting reduces the

hazard of erosion. This practice is suitable on most of

the soils in the county.

Terraces and diversions help to control runoff and

erosion. They are most practical on very deep, well

drained soils that have uniform slopes. Examples are

Luverne, Orangeburg, and Springhill soils. Sandy

soils, such as Alaga, Blanton, Bonifay, Fuquay, Lucy,

and Troup soils, are not suitable to terracing because

gullies form easily when water is concentrated on the

surface. Grassed waterways or underground tile

outlets are essential in areas where terraces and

diversions are installed. Diversions can be used to

intercept surface runoff from hilly uplands and to

divert the water around the fields to vegetated

disposal areas.

Contour farming is a very effective erosion-control

method in cultivated areas when used in conjunction

with a water-disposal system. It is best suited to soils

that have smooth, uniform slopes. Examples are

Conecuh, Dothan, Greenville, Hannon, Oktibbeha,

and Orangeburg soils.

Soil blowing can be a management concern in

early spring on some upland soils, especially if the

soils are dry and are not protected by a plant cover.

The hazard of erosion is generally highest after the

seedbed has been prepared, after planting, and when

the crop plants are small. Tillage methods that leave

crop residue on the surface reduce the hazard of soil

blowing. Conventional planting practices should

include an implement that scratches the surface,

leaving a rough, irregular pattern. Also, strips of closegrowing crops are effective as windbreaks. If possible,

seedbed preparation should be delayed until after

March, which is generally windy. Additional

information regarding the design of erosion-control
Barbour County, Alabama 89

practices is available at the local office of the Natural

Resources Conservation Service.

Barbour County has an adequate amount of rainfall

for the commonly grown crops. Prolonged periods of

drought are rare, but the distribution of rainfall during

spring and summer generally results in droughty

periods during the growing season in most years.

Irrigation may be needed during these periods to

reduce plant stress. Most of the soils that are

commonly used for cultivated crops are suitable for

irrigation; however, the amount of water applied

should be regulated to prevent excessive runoff.

Some soils, such as Conecuh, Hannon, and

Oktibbeha soils, have a slow rate of water infiltration

that limits their suitability for irrigation.

Most of the soils that are used for crops in the

county have a surface layer of sandy loam or loamy

sand that is light in color and has a low content of

organic matter. Regular additions of crop residue,

manure, and other organic material can improve the

soil structure and minimize crusting, thus improving

the rate of water infiltration.

The use of heavy tillage equipment can result in

compaction of subsurface layers in most of the soils

on the Coastal Plain. The compacted layers, which

are called plow pans or traffic pans, are generally 2 to

12 inches below the surface. They restrict the rate of

water infiltration and limit the growth of plant roots.

Soils that are likely to develop a traffic pan include

Cowarts, Dothan, Greenville, and Orangeburg soils.

Tilth is an important factor affecting plant growth

because it influences the rate of water infiltration into

the soil. Soils that have good tilth have sufficient

organic matter and a granular, porous surface layer.

Tilth is affected by the type of crop planted, past

farming practices, and the degree of erosion that has

occurred. Practices that maintain or increase the

content of organic matter are needed for all of the

soils that are used as cropland in the county.

Natural fertility is low in most of the soils in Barbour

County. Applications of agricultural limestone are

needed to neutralize acidity in most of the soils. The

crops grown in the county respond well to applications

of lime and fertilizer. The levels of available

phosphorus and potash are generally low in most of

the soils. Soils in some fields, however, have a buildup

of phosphorus or potassium because of past

applications of large quantities of commercial fertilizer.

Applications of lime and fertilizer should be based on

the results of soil tests. Leaching is a concern in

areas of sandy soils, such as Blanton, Bonifay, Lucy,

and Troup soils. Higher levels of nitrogen, applied in

split applications, should be used on these soils. The

Cooperative Extension System can help in

determining the kinds and amounts of fertilizer and

lime to apply.

Wetness is a management concern in areas of

Bladen, Kinston, Lynchburg, Mantachie, Muckalee,

Pelham, Una, Wahee, and Yonges soils. If crops are to

be grown in areas of the soils, a drainage system is

needed to reduce the wetness.

Bahiagrass, improved bermudagrass, and tall

fescue are the main perennial grasses grown for

pasture and hay in Barbour County. Rye, ryegrass,

and wheat are grown as annual cool-season grass

forage. Millets, sorghums, and hybrid forage

sorghums provide most of the annual warm-season

grass forage. These annuals are generally grown in

areas otherwise used as cropland. They are grown for

temporary grazing and for hay. Most of the soils in the

county are suited to arrowleaf clover, ball clover,

crimson clover, white clover, and other cool-season

forage legumes, especially if agricultural limestone is

applied in proper amounts. The well drained soils,

such as Dothan, Greenville, Orangeburg, and

Springhill soils, are well suited to alfalfa, which is a

warm-season legume.

A combination of management practices is needed

on all of the soils that are used as pasture or hayland.

These practices include proper grazing management,

control of weeds, proper application of fertilizer,

rotation grazing, and the scattering of animal

droppings.

Overgrazing, low rates of application of fertilizer,

and acid soils are the main concerns for pasture

management in this county. They can result in weak

plants and poor stands that are quickly infested with

weeds. Maintaining a good, dense cover of the

desired pasture species helps to prevent the

establishment of weeds.

Yields per Acre

The average yields per acre that can be expected

of the principal crops and pasture plants under a high

level of management are shown in tables 3 and 4. In

any given year, yields may be higher or lower than

those indicated in the table because of variations in

rainfall and other climatic factors. The land capability

classification of map units in the survey area also is

shown in the table.

The yields are based mainly on the experience and

records of farmers, conservationists, and extension

agents. Available yield data from nearby counties and

results of field trials and demonstrations also are

considered.

The management needed to obtain the indicated

yields of the various crops depends on the kind of soil

and the crop. Management can include drainage,
90 Soil Survey

erosion control, and protection from flooding; the

proper planting and seeding rates; suitable highyielding crop varieties; appropriate and timely tillage;

control of weeds, plant diseases, and harmful insects;

favorable soil reaction and optimum levels of nitrogen,

phosphorus, potassium, and trace elements for each

crop; effective use of crop residue, barnyard manure,

and green manure crops; and harvesting that ensures

the smallest possible loss.

The estimated yields reflect the productive capacity

of each soil for each of the principal crops. Yields are

likely to increase as new production technology is

developed. The productivity of a given soil compared

with that of other soils, however, is not likely to

change.

Crops other than those shown in the table are

grown in the survey area, but estimated yields are not

listed because the acreage of such crops is small.

The local office of the Natural Resources

Conservation Service or of the Cooperative Extension

Service can provide information about the

management and productivity of the soils for those

crops.

Land Capability Classification

Land capability classification shows, in a general

way, the suitability of soils for most kinds of field

crops. Crops that require special management are

excluded. The soils are grouped according to their

limitations for field crops, the risk of damage if they

are used for crops, and the way they respond to

management. The criteria used in grouping the soils

do not include major and generally expensive

landforming that would change slope, depth, or other

characteristics of the soils, nor do they include

possible but unlikely major reclamation projects.

Capability classification is not a substitute for

interpretations designed to show suitability and

limitations of groups of soils for rangeland, for

forestland, or for engineering purposes.

In the capability system, soils are generally

grouped at three levels—capability class, subclass,

and unit (USDA, 1961).

Capability classes, the broadest groups, are

designated by the numbers 1 through 8. The numbers

indicate progressively greater limitations and narrower

choices for practical use. The classes are defined as

follows:

Class 1 soils have slight limitations that restrict

their use.

Class 2 soils have moderate limitations that restrict

the choice of plants or that require moderate

conservation practices.

Class 3 soils have severe limitations that restrict

the choice of plants or that require special

conservation practices, or both.

Class 4 soils have very severe limitations that

restrict the choice of plants or that require very careful

management, or both.

Class 5 soils are subject to little or no erosion but

have other limitations, impractical to remove, that

restrict their use mainly to pasture, rangeland, or

wildlife habitat.

Class 6 soils have severe limitations that make

them generally unsuitable for cultivation and that

restrict their use mainly to pasture, forestland, or

wildlife habitat.

Class 7 soils have very severe limitations that

make them unsuitable for cultivation and that restrict

their use mainly to grazing, forestland, or wildlife

habitat.

Class 8 soils and miscellaneous areas have

limitations that preclude commercial plant production

and that restrict their use to recreational purposes,

wildlife habitat, watershed, or esthetic purposes.

Capability subclasses are soil groups within one

class. They are designated by adding a small letter, e,

w, or s, to the class numeral, for example, 2e. The

letter e shows that the main hazard is the risk of

erosion unless close-growing plant cover is

maintained; w shows that water in or on the soil

interferes with plant growth or cultivation (in some

soils the wetness can be partly corrected by artificial

drainage); and s shows that the soil is limited mainly

because it is droughty or stony.

In class 1 there are no subclasses because the

soils of this class have few limitations. Class 5

contains only the subclasses indicated by w or s

because the soils in class 5 are subject to little or no

erosion. They have other limitations that restrict their

use to pasture, forestland, wildlife habitat, or

recreation.

Capability units are soil groups within a subclass.

The soils in a capability unit are enough alike to be

suited to the same crops and pasture plants, to

require similar management, and to have similar

productivity. Capability units are generally designated

by adding an Arabic numeral to the subclass symbol,

for example, 2e-4 and 3e-6. These units are not given

in all soil surveys.

The capability classification of map units in this

survey area is given in the section “Detailed Soil Map

Units” and in the yields tables.

Prime Farmland

Prime farmland is one of several kinds of important

farmland defined by the U.S. Department of

Agriculture. It is of major importance in meeting the
Barbour County, Alabama 91

Nation’s short- and long-range needs for food and

fiber. Because the supply of high-quality farmland is

limited, the U.S. Department of Agriculture recognizes

that responsible levels of government, as well as

individuals, should encourage and facilitate the wise

use of our Nation’s prime farmland.

Prime farmland, as defined by the U.S. Department

of Agriculture, is land that has the best combination of

physical and chemical characteristics for producing

food, feed, forage, fiber, and oilseed crops and is

available for these uses. It could be cultivated land,

pastureland, forestland, or other land, but it is not

urban or built-up land or water areas. The soil

qualities, growing season, and moisture supply are

those needed for the soil to economically produce

sustained high yields of crops when proper

management, including water management, and

acceptable farming methods are applied. In general,

prime farmland has an adequate and dependable

supply of moisture from precipitation or irrigation, a

favorable temperature and growing season,

acceptable acidity, and few or no rocks. It is

permeable to water and air. It is not excessively

erodible or saturated with water for long periods, and

it either is not frequently flooded during the growing

season or is protected from flooding. Slope ranges

mainly from 0 to 6 percent. More detailed information

about the criteria for prime farmland is available at the

local office of the Natural Resources Conservation

Service.

A recent trend in land use in some parts of the

survey area has been the loss of some prime

farmland to industrial and urban uses. The loss of

prime farmland to other uses puts pressure on

marginal lands, which generally are more erodible,

droughty, and less productive and cannot be easily

cultivated.

The map units in the survey area that are

considered prime farmland are listed in table 5. This

list does not constitute a recommendation for a

particular land use. The extent of each listed map unit

is shown in table 2. The location is shown on the

detailed soil maps. The soil qualities that affect use

and management are described under the heading

“Detailed Soil Map Units.”

Landscaping and Gardening

Kenneth M. Rogers, conservation agronomist, Natural

Resources Conservation Service, helped prepare this section.

The soils in residential areas are used primarily as

sites for homes, driveways, and streets. Remaining

areas of each lot are commonly used for lawns, which

enhance the appearance of the home; as gardens for

vegetables or flowers and shrubs; as orchards for

fruits and nuts; for recreational uses; as habitat for

animals and birds; for trees, which provide shade and

promote energy conservation; for vegetation and

structures designed to abate noise, enhance privacy,

and provide protection from wind; and for septic tank

absorption fields. Because the outdoor areas are

used for several purposes, careful planning and a

good understanding of the soils are important.

This section contains general soil-related

information for landscaping and gardening. Other

information may be obtained from the local office of

the Cooperative Extension System or the Natural

Resources Conservation Service, or from private

businesses that provide landscaping and related

services. The amount of soil information needed for

use in some areas is beyond the scope of this survey

and is more detailed than that provided at the map

scale used. Onsite investigation is needed in these

areas.

Most of the soils in the residential areas in Barbour

County have been disturbed to some degree during

construction of houses, streets, driveways, and utility

service. This construction involved cutting and filling,

grading, and excavating. As a result, soil properties

are more variable and less predictable than they are

in undisturbed areas. Onsite examination is needed

for the planning of land uses in disturbed areas.

Some of the poorest soils for plant growth in the

county are Cowarts, Conecuh, Luverne, and Nankin

soils that have had the surface layer removed during

grading. The exposed dense, firm subsoil restricts

root penetration, absorbs little rainfall, and results in

excessive runoff. Incorporating organic matter into the

soil improves tilth, increases the rate of water

infiltration and provides a more desirable rooting

medium. Areas that are subject to intensive foot traffic

should be covered with gravel or a mulch, such as

pine bark or wood chips.

Some soils, such as Bladen, Lynchburg, and

Pelham soils, are wet. The wetness limits the

selection of plants to those that are tolerant of a high

moisture content in the soil. Several methods can be

used to minimize the effects of the wetness. Installing

underground tile drains can lower the water table in

permeable soils. Bedding the surface layer of slowly

permeable soils helps to provide a satisfactory root

zone for some plants.

Some soils, such as Kinston, Mantachie, and Una

soils, are on flood plains. Most plants used for

gardening and landscaping can be grown on these

soils, but consideration should be given to the effects

of floodwater. Surface drainage is a management
92 Soil Survey

concern because urban uses commonly result in

increased rates of surface runoff, which increase the

frequency and severity of flooding. Advice and

assistance regarding drainage problems can be

obtained from the Natural Resources Conservation

Service, municipal and county engineering

departments, and private engineering companies.

Sandy soils, such as Alaga, Blanton, and Troup

soils, are droughty, have low fertility, and have a low

content of organic matter. Droughtiness limits the

selection of plants that can be grown unless irrigation

is provided. Additions of organic matter increase the

available water capacity and help to retain nutrients in

the root zone. Supplemental watering and split

applications of plant nutrients are recommended.

Applying a mulch, such as pine bark, wood chips, or

pine straw, or incorporating peat moss or welldecomposed manure into the soil provides a more

desirable medium for plant growth.

Natural fertility is low in most of the soils in Barbour

County. Most of the soils are strongly acid or very

strongly acid. Additions of ground limestone are

needed to neutralize the acidity of most of the soils.

The original surface layer contains the most plant

nutrients and has the most favorable pH for most

plants. In many areas, the fertility of the surface layer

has been improved by applications of lime and

fertilizer. If the surface layer is removed during

construction, the remaining soil is very acid and low in

available plant nutrients. Also, some nutrients are

unavailable for plant growth in acid soil conditions.

Disturbed soils generally need larger amounts of lime

and fertilizer, which should be applied according to

the results of soil tests and the type of plants grown.

Information on sampling for soil testing can be

obtained from the Cooperative Extension System, the

Natural Resources Conservation Service, and local

nurseries.

In the following paragraphs, some of the plants that

are used in landscaping and gardening and some

management relationships between the plants and

the soils are described. Information in this section

should be supplemented by consultations with

specialists at the Cooperative Extension System, the

Natural Resources Conservation Service, or private

landscaping and gardening businesses.

The grasses used for landscaping in Barbour

County are mainly vegetatively propagated species,

such as zoysiagrass, hybrid bermudagrass, St.

Augustine grass, and centipede grass, and seeded

species, such as common bermudagrass and

centipede grass. The grasses commonly used for

short-term cover include ryegrass, rye, wheat,

Sudangrass, and millet.

The vegetatively propagated plants are usually

planted as sprigs, plugs, or sod. Additions of topsoil

may be needed before planting in some areas. Also,

lime and fertilizer should be applied and incorporated

into the soil. The plants should be placed in close

contact with the soil, and the plantings should be

watered to ensure the establishment of the root

system. St. Augustine grass, centipede grass, and

certain strains of zoysiagrass are moderately shade

tolerant. St. Augustine grass and zoysiagrass

generally require more maintenance than centipede

grass. The strains of hybrid bermudagrass are fast

growing, but they are not as tolerant of shade as St.

Augustine grass, centipede grass, or zoysiagrass.

Common perennial grasses that are established by

seeding include common bermudagrass and

centipede grass. Lime and fertilizer should be applied

and incorporated into the soil before seeding. Proper

planting depth is important when grasses are

established from seed.

Short-term vegetative cover is used to protect the

soil at construction sites or to provide cover between

the planting seasons of the desired grass species.

The most commonly used grasses for short-term

cover are ryegrass for cool seasons and Sudangrass

or millet for warm seasons. These species are

annuals and die after the growing season. Periodical

applications of lime and fertilizer are needed on all

types of grasses. The kinds and amounts of lime and

fertilizer to apply should be based on the results of

soil tests.

Vines can provide vegetative cover in moderately

shaded areas and in steep areas that cannot be

mowed. English ivy and periwinkle can be used for

ground cover or on walls and fences. All of these

plants are propagated vegetatively, usually from

potted plants or sprigs.

Mulches can be used for ground cover in areas

where traffic is too heavy for grass cover, in areas

where shrubs and flowers are desired with additional

ground cover, and in densely shaded areas. Mulches

provide effective ground cover. They also provide

immediate cover to help control erosion in areas

where live vegetation is not desired. Effective mulches

include pine straw, small-grain straw, hay, composted

grass clippings, wood chips, pine bark, and several

manufactured materials. The type of mulch to use

depends to some extent on the hazard of erosion.

Mulches also can be used to conserve soil moisture and

to control weeds around trees, shrubs, and flowers.

Shrubs are used primarily to enhance the

appearance of homesites. They also can be used to

control traffic. They can be effective in dissipating the

energy from raindrops and from runoff from roofs.
Barbour County, Alabama 93

Most native and adapted species add variety to

residential settings. Reaction to acidity and fertility

levels vary greatly among shrub types.

Vegetable and flower gardens are important to

many individuals and businesses. However, the soils

in areas where homes and businesses are

established may not be suited to vegetables and

flowers. Soils that have been disturbed by

construction may not be productive unless topsoil is

applied. Soils that have a slope of more than 8

percent have poor potential for vegetable gardening

because of the hazard of erosion if the soils are tilled.

Generally, steeper soils have a thinner surface layer.

Flower gardening is possible in the steeper areas,

however, if mulches are used to help control erosion.

Incorporating composted tree leaves and grass

clippings into the soil improves fertility, tilth, and

moisture content. Additional information regarding

vegetable crops is included under the heading “Crops

and Pasture.”

Most garden plants grow best in soils that have a

pH level between 5.5 and 6.5 and that have a high

fertility level. Applying too much fertilizer or using

fertilizers that have the wrong combination of plant

nutrients can be avoided by soil testing, which is the

only effective method of determining the amount and

kind of fertilizer that should be applied. Information

regarding soil testing can be obtained from the local

office of the Cooperative Extension System or the

Natural Resources Conservation Service or from a

retail fertilizer business.

Trees are important in homesite landscaping.

Information regarding relationships between soils and

trees is available in the section “Woodland

Management and Productivity.” Special assistance

regarding urban forestry can be obtained from the

Alabama Forestry Commission.

Agricultural Waste Management

Soil properties are important considerations in

areas where soils are used as sites for the treatment

and disposal of organic waste and wastewater.

Selection of soils with properties that favor waste

management can help to prevent environmental

damage.

Tables 6a and 6b show the degree and kind of soil

limitations affecting the treatment of agricultural

waste, including municipal and food-processing

wastewater and effluent from lagoons or storage

ponds. Municipal wastewater is the waste stream from

a municipality. It contains domestic waste and may

contain industrial waste. It may have received primary

or secondary treatment. It is rarely untreated sewage.

Food-processing wastewater results from the

preparation of fruits, vegetables, milk, cheese, and

meats for public consumption. In places it is high in

content of sodium and chloride. In the context of these

tables, the effluent in lagoons and storage ponds is

from facilities used to treat or store food-processing

wastewater or domestic or animal waste. Domestic

and food-processing wastewater is very dilute, and

the effluent from the facilities that treat or store it

commonly is very low in content of carbonaceous and

nitrogenous material; the content of nitrogen

commonly ranges from 10 to 30 milligrams per liter.

The wastewater from animal waste treatment lagoons

or storage ponds, however, has much higher

concentrations of these materials, mainly because the

manure has not been diluted as much as the

domestic waste. The content of nitrogen in this

wastewater generally ranges from 50 to 2,000

milligrams per liter. When wastewater is applied,

checks should be made to ensure that nitrogen,

heavy metals, and salts are not added in excessive

amounts.

The ratings in the tables are for waste

management systems that not only dispose of and

treat organic waste or wastewater but also are

beneficial to crops (application of manure and foodprocessing waste, application of sewage sludge, and

disposal of wastewater by irrigation) and for waste

management systems that are designed only for the

purpose of wastewater disposal and treatment

(overland flow of wastewater, rapid infiltration of

wastewater, and slow rate treatment of wastewater).

The ratings are both verbal and numerical. Rating

class terms indicate the extent to which the soils are

limited by all of the soil features that affect agricultural

waste management. Not limited indicates that the soil

has features that are very favorable for the specified

use. Good performance and very low maintenance

can be expected. Somewhat limited indicates that the

soil has features that are moderately favorable for the

specified use. The limitations can be overcome or

minimized by special planning, design, or installation.

Fair performance and moderate maintenance can be

expected. Very limited indicates that the soil has one

or more features that are unfavorable for the specified

use. The limitations generally cannot be overcome

without major soil reclamation, special design, or

expensive installation procedures. Poor performance

and high maintenance can be expected.

Numerical ratings in the tables indicate the severity

of individual limitations. The ratings are shown as

decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They

indicate gradations between the point at which a soil

feature has the greatest negative impact on the use
94 Soil Survey

(1.00) and the point at which the soil feature is not a

limitation (0.00).

Application of manure and food-processing waste

not only disposes of waste material but also can

improve crop production by increasing the supply of

nutrients in the soils where the material is applied.

Manure is the excrement of livestock and poultry, and

food-processing waste is damaged fruit and

vegetables and the peelings, stems, leaves, pits, and

soil particles removed in food preparation. The

manure and food-processing waste are either solid,

slurry, or liquid. Their nitrogen content varies. A high

content of nitrogen limits the application rate. Toxic or

otherwise dangerous wastes, such as those mixed

with the lye used in food processing, are not

considered in the ratings.

The ratings are based on the soil properties that

affect absorption, plant growth, microbial activity,

erodibility, the rate at which the waste is applied, and

the method by which the waste is applied. The

properties that affect absorption include permeability,

depth to a water table, ponding, the sodium

adsorption ratio, depth to bedrock or a cemented pan,

and available water capacity. The properties that

affect plant growth and microbial activity include

reaction and bulk density. The wind erodibility group,

the soil erodibility factor K, and slope are considered

in estimating the likelihood that water erosion will

transport the waste material from the application site.

Stones, cobbles, a water table, ponding, and flooding

can hinder the application of waste.

Application of sewage sludge not only disposes of

waste material but also can improve crop production

by increasing the supply of nutrients in the soils

where the material is applied. In the context of this

table, sewage sludge is the residual product of the

treatment of municipal sewage. The solid component

consists mainly of cell mass, primarily bacteria cells

that developed during secondary treatment and have

incorporated soluble organics into their own bodies.

The sludge has small amounts of sand, silt, and other

solid debris. The content of nitrogen varies. Some

sludge has constituents that are toxic to plants or

hazardous to the food chain, such as heavy metals

and exotic organic compounds, and should be

analyzed chemically prior to use.

The content of water in the sludge ranges from

about 98 percent to less than 40 percent. The sludge

is considered liquid if it is more than about 90 percent

water, slurry if it is about 50 to 90 percent water, and

solid if it is less than about 50 percent water.

The ratings in the table are based on the soil

properties that affect absorption, plant growth,

microbial activity, erodibility, the rate at which the

sludge is applied, and the method by which the

sludge is applied. The properties that affect

absorption, plant growth, and microbial activity

include permeability, depth to a water table, ponding,

available water capacity, reaction, and bulk density.

The soil erodibility factor K, and slope are considered

in estimating the likelihood that water erosion will

transport the waste material from the application site.

Stones, cobbles, a water table, ponding, and flooding

can hinder the application of sludge.

Disposal of wastewater by irrigation not only

disposes of municipal wastewater and wastewater

from food-processing plants, lagoons, and storage

ponds but also can improve crop production by

increasing the amount of water available to crops.

The ratings in the table are based on the soil

properties that affect the design, construction,

management, and performance of the irrigation

system. The properties that affect design and

management include depth to a water table,

ponding, available water capacity, permeability,

slope, and flooding. The properties that affect

construction include stones, cobbles, depth to a

water table, and ponding. The properties that affect

performance include bulk density, reaction, and the

cation-exchange capacity, which is used to estimate

the capacity of a soil to adsorb heavy metals.

Overland flow of wastewater is a process in which

wastewater is applied to the upper reaches of sloped

land and allowed to flow across vegetated surfaces,

sometimes called terraces, to runoff-collection

ditches. The length of the run generally is 150 to 300

feet. The application rate ranges from 2.5 to 16.0

inches per week. It commonly exceeds the rate

needed for irrigation of cropland. The wastewater

leaves solids and nutrients on the vegetated surfaces

as it flows downslope in a thin film. Most of the water

reaches the collection ditch, some is lost through

evapotranspiration, and a small amount may

percolate to the ground water.

The ratings in the table are based on the soil

properties that affect absorption, plant growth,

microbial activity, and the design and construction of

the system. Reaction and the cation-exchange

capacity affect absorption. Reaction affects plant

growth and microbial activity. Slope, permeability,

depth to a water table, ponding, flooding, stones, and

cobbles affect design and construction.

Rapid infiltration of wastewater is a process in

which wastewater applied in a level basin at a rate of

4 to 120 inches per week percolates through the soil.

The wastewater may eventually reach the ground

water. The application rate commonly exceeds the

rate needed for irrigation of cropland. Vegetation is not
Barbour County, Alabama 95

a necessary part of the treatment; hence, the basins

may or may not be vegetated. The thickness of the

soil material needed for proper treatment of the

wastewater is more than 72 inches. As a result,

geologic and hydrologic investigation is needed to

ensure proper design and performance and to

determine the risk of ground-water pollution.

The ratings in the table are based on the soil

properties that affect the risk of pollution and the

design, construction, and performance of the system.

Depth to a water table, ponding, and flooding, affect

the risk of pollution and the design and construction of

the system. Slope, stones, and cobbles also affect

design and construction. Permeability and reaction

affect performance.

Slow rate treatment of wastewater is a process in

which wastewater is applied to land at a rate normally

between 0.5 inch and 4.0 inches per week. The

application rate commonly exceeds the rate needed

for irrigation of cropland. The applied wastewater is

treated as it moves through the soil. Much of the

treated water may percolate to the ground water, and

some enters the atmosphere through

evapotranspiration. The applied water generally is not

allowed to run off the surface. Waterlogging is

prevented either through control of the application rate

or through the use of tile drains, or both.

The ratings in the table are based on the soil

properties that affect absorption, plant growth, microbial

activity, erodibility, and the application of waste. The

properties that affect absorption include depth to a water

table, ponding, available water capacity, permeability,

reaction, the cation-exchange capacity, and slope.

Reaction and bulk density affect plant growth and

microbial activity. The soil erodibility factor K and slope

are considered in estimating the likelihood of water

erosion. Stones, cobbles, a water table, ponding, and

flooding can hinder the application of waste.

Forest Productivity and Management

Jerry L. Johnson, forester, Natural Resources Conservation

Service, helped to prepare this section.

Woodland makes up about 450,600 acres, or about

80 percent of the total land area in Barbour County.

The acreage has been increasing primarily because

of the planting of trees on marginal cropland and idle

land (Hartsell and Brown, 2002).

Private individuals own 78 percent of the woodland

in the county. The forest industry and private

corporations own about 17 percent. The other 5

percent is owned by the state or is in The Eufaula

National Wildlife Refuge, which is owned by the U.S.

Government. The forest types in Barbour County

include 18,900 acres of longleaf-slash pine, 189,200

acres of loblolly-shortleaf pine, 72,000 acres of oakpine, 134,300 acres of oak-hickory, and 33,100 acres

of oak-gum-cypress. The county has about 141,600

acres of sawtimber, 64,800 acres of poletimber, and

244,100 acres of seedlings and saplings (Hartsell and

Brown, 2002).

Most of the soils on the Coastal Plain and the acid

soils on the Blackland Prairie have a site index of 80

or more for loblolly pine. Because of long periods of

ponding, however, the Una soils are unsuited to pine

trees.

The tables in this section can help forest owners or

managers plan the use of soils for wood crops. They

show the potential productivity of the soils for wood

crops and rate the soils according to the limitations

that affect various aspects of forest management.

Forest Productivity

In table 7, the potential productivity of

merchantable or common trees on a soil is

expressed as a site index and as a volume number.

The site index is the average height, in feet, that

dominant and codominant trees of a given species

attain in a specified number of years. The site index

applies to fully stocked, even-aged, unmanaged

stands. Commonly grown trees are those that forest

managers generally favor in intermediate or

improvement cuttings. They are selected on the

basis of growth rate, quality, value, and

marketability. More detailed information regarding

site index is available in the “National Forestry

Manual,” which is available in local offices of the

Natural Resources Conservation Service or on the

Internet (USDA, 2000).

The volume of wood fiber, a number, is the yield

likely to be produced by the most important tree

species. This number, expressed as cubic feet per

acre per year and calculated at the age of culmination

of the mean annual increment (CMAI), indicates the

amount of fiber produced in a fully stocked, evenaged, unmanaged stand.

Trees to manage are those that are preferred for

planting, seeding, or natural regeneration and those

that remain in the stand after thinning or partial

harvest.

Forest Management

In tables 8a and 8b, interpretive ratings are given

for various aspects of forest management. The ratings

are both verbal and numerical.

Some rating class terms indicate the degree to

which the soils are suited to a specified forest

management practice. Well suited indicates that the
96 Soil Survey

soil has features that are favorable for the specified

practice and has no limitations. Good performance

can be expected, and little or no maintenance is

needed. Moderately suited indicates that the soil has

features that are moderately favorable for the

specified practice. One or more soil properties are

less than desirable, and fair performance can be

expected. Some maintenance is needed. Poorly

suited indicates that the soil has one or more

properties that are unfavorable for the specified

practice. Overcoming the unfavorable properties

requires special design, extra maintenance, and

costly alteration. Unsuited indicates that the expected

performance of the soil is unacceptable for the

specified practice or that extreme measures are

needed to overcome the undesirable soil properties.

Numerical ratings in the tables indicate the severity

of individual limitations. The ratings are shown as

decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They

indicate gradations between the point at which a soil

feature has the greatest negative impact on the

specified forest management practice (1.00) and the

point at which the soil feature is not a limitation (0.00).

Rating class terms for seedling mortality are

expressed as low, moderate, and high. Where these

terms are used, the numerical ratings indicate

gradations between the point at which the potential for

fire damage or seedling mortality is highest (1.00) and

the point at which the potential is lowest (0.00).

The paragraphs that follow indicate the soil

properties considered in rating the soils for forest

management practices. More detailed information

about the criteria used in the ratings is available in the

“National Forestry Manual,” which is available in local

offices of the Natural Resources Conservation

Service or on the Internet (http://soils.usda.gov/)

For limitations affecting construction of haul roads

and log landings, the ratings are based on slope,

flooding, plasticity index, the hazard of soil slippage,

content of sand, the Unified classification, rock

fragments on or below the surface, depth to a water

table, and ponding. The limitations are described as

slight, moderate, or severe. A rating of slight indicates

that no significant limitations affect construction

activities, moderate indicates that one or more

limitations can cause some difficulty in construction,

and severe indicates that one or more limitations can

make construction very difficult or very costly.

Ratings in the column soil rutting hazard are based

on depth to a water table, rock fragments on or below

the surface, the Unified classification, depth to a

restrictive layer, and slope. Ruts form as a result of

the operation of forest equipment. The hazard is

described as slight, moderate, or severe. A rating of

slight indicates that the soil is subject to little or no

rutting, moderate indicates that rutting is likely, and

severe indicates that ruts form readily.

Ratings in the column hazard of erosion on roads

and trails are based on the soil erodibility factor K,

slope, and content of rock fragments. The ratings

apply to unsurfaced roads and trails. The hazard is

described as slight, moderate, or severe. A rating of

slight indicates that little or no erosion is likely;

moderate indicates that some erosion is likely, that

the roads or trails may require occasional

maintenance, and that simple erosion-control

measures are needed; and severe indicates that

significant erosion is expected, that the roads or trails

require frequent maintenance, and that costly

erosion-control measures are needed.

Ratings in the column suitability for roads (natural

surface) are based on slope, rock fragments on the

surface, plasticity index, content of sand, the Unified

classification, depth to a water table, ponding,

flooding, and the hazard of soil slippage. The ratings

indicate the suitability for using the natural surface of

the soil for roads. The soils are described as well

suited, moderately suited, or poorly suited to this use.

Ratings in the column suitability for mechanical

planting are based on slope, depth to a restrictive

layer, content of sand, plasticity index, rock fragments

on or below the surface, depth to a water table, and

ponding. The soils are described as well suited,

moderately suited, poorly suited, or unsuited to these

methods of planting. It is assumed that necessary site

preparation is completed before seedlings are

planted.

Ratings in the column suitability for mechanical site

preparation (surface) are based on slope, depth to a

restrictive layer, plasticity index, rock fragments on or

below the surface, depth to a water table, and

ponding. The soils are described as well suited, poorly

suited, or unsuited to this management activity. The

part of the soil from the surface to a depth of about 1

foot is considered in the ratings.

Ratings in the column suitability for mechanical site

preparation (deep) are based on slope, depth to a

restrictive layer, rock fragments on or below the

surface, depth to a water table, and ponding. The soils

are described as well suited, poorly suited, or

unsuited to this management activity. The part of the

soil from the surface to a depth of about 3 feet is

considered in the ratings.

Ratings in the column potential for seedling

mortality are based on flooding, ponding, depth to a

water table, reaction, available water capacity, aspect,

and slope. The soils are described as having a low,

moderate, or high potential for seedling mortality.
Barbour County, Alabama 97

Recreation

The soils of the survey area are rated in tables 9a

and 9b according to limitations that affect their

suitability for recreation. The ratings are both verbal

and numerical. Rating class terms indicate the extent

to which the soils are limited by all of the soil features

that affect the recreational uses. Not limited indicates

that the soil has features that are very favorable for

the specified use. Good performance and very low

maintenance can be expected. Somewhat limited

indicates that the soil has features that are

moderately favorable for the specified use. The

limitations can be overcome or minimized by special

planning, design, or installation. Fair performance and

moderate maintenance can be expected. Very limited

indicates that the soil has one or more features that

are unfavorable for the specified use. The limitations

generally cannot be overcome without major soil

reclamation, special design, or expensive installation

procedures. Poor performance and high maintenance

can be expected.

Numerical ratings in the tables indicate the severity

of individual limitations. The ratings are shown as

decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They

indicate gradations between the point at which a soil

feature has the greatest negative impact on the use

(1.00) and the point at which the soil feature is not a

limitation (0.00).

The ratings in the tables are based on restrictive

soil features, such as wetness, slope, and texture of

the surface layer. Susceptibility to flooding is

considered. Not considered in the ratings, but

important in evaluating a site, are the location and

accessibility of the area, the size and shape of the

area and its scenic quality, vegetation, access to

water, potential water impoundment sites, and

access to public sewer lines. The capacity of the

soil to absorb septic tank effluent and the ability of

the soil to support vegetation also are important.

Soils that are subject to flooding are limited for

recreational uses by the duration and intensity of

flooding and the season when flooding occurs. In

planning recreational facilities, onsite assessment

of the height, duration, intensity, and frequency of

flooding is essential.

The information in tables 9a and 9b can be

supplemented by other information in this survey, for

example, interpretations for building site development,

construction materials, sanitary facilities, and water

management.

Camp areas require site preparation, such as

shaping and leveling the tent and parking areas,

stabilizing roads and intensively used areas, and

installing sanitary facilities and utility lines. Camp

areas are subject to heavy foot traffic and some

vehicular traffic. The ratings are based on the soil

properties that affect the ease of developing camp

areas and the performance of the areas after

development. Slope and stoniness are the main

concerns affecting the development of camp areas.

The soil properties that affect the performance of the

areas after development are those that influence

trafficability and promote the growth of vegetation,

especially in heavily used areas. For good

trafficability, the surface of camp areas should absorb

rainfall readily, remain firm under heavy foot traffic,

and not be dusty when dry. The soil properties that

influence trafficability are texture of the surface layer,

depth to a water table, ponding, flooding, permeability,

and large stones. The soil properties that affect the

growth of plants are permeability and toxic

substances in the soil.

Picnic areas are subject to heavy foot traffic. Most

vehicular traffic is confined to access roads and

parking areas. The ratings are based on the soil

properties that affect the ease of developing picnic

areas and that influence trafficability and the growth of

vegetation after development. Slope and stoniness

are the main concerns affecting the development of

picnic areas. For good trafficability, the surface of

picnic areas should absorb rainfall readily, remain firm

under heavy foot traffic, and not be dusty when dry.

The soil properties that influence trafficability are

texture of the surface layer, depth to a water table,

ponding, flooding, and permeability. The soil

properties that affect the growth of plants are

permeability and toxic substances in the soil.

Playgrounds require soils that are nearly level, are

free of stones, and can withstand intensive foot traffic.

The ratings are based on the soil properties that

affect the ease of developing playgrounds and that

influence trafficability and the growth of vegetation

after development. Slope and stoniness are the main

concerns affecting the development of playgrounds.

For good trafficability, the surface of the playgrounds

should absorb rainfall readily, remain firm under heavy

foot traffic, and not be dusty when dry. The soil

properties that influence trafficability are texture of the

surface layer, depth to a water table, ponding,

flooding, and permeability. The soil properties that

affect the growth of plants are permeability and toxic

substances in the soil.

Paths and trails for hiking and horseback riding

should require little or no slope modification through

cutting and filling. The ratings are based on the soil

properties that affect trafficability and erodibility.

These properties are stoniness, depth to a water
98 Soil Survey

table, ponding, flooding, slope, and texture of the

surface layer.

Off-road motorcycle trails require little or no site

preparation. They are not covered with surfacing

material or vegetation. Considerable compaction of

the soil material is likely. The ratings are based on the

soil properties that influence erodibility, trafficability,

dustiness, and the ease of revegetation. These

properties are stoniness, slope, depth to a water

table, ponding, flooding, and texture of the surface

layer.

Golf fairways are subject to heavy foot traffic and

some light vehicular traffic. Cutting or filling may be

required. Irrigation is not considered in the ratings.

The ratings are based on the soil properties that

affect plant growth and trafficability after vegetation is

established. The properties that affect plant growth

are reaction; depth to a water table; ponding; and the

available water capacity in the upper 40 inches. The

properties that affect trafficability are flooding, depth

to a water table, ponding, slope, stoniness, and the

amount of sand or clay in the surface layer. The

suitability of the soil for traps, tees, roughs, and

greens is not considered in the ratings.

Wildlife Habitat

Jeffery Thurmond, wildlife biologist, Natural Resources

Conservation Service, helped to prepare this section.

Barbour County is dominantly a rural area and has

suitable habitat for many kinds of wildlife. It is about

80 percent woodland and is interspersed with areas

of cultivated crops, pasture, and hay.

Barbour County supports a variety of mammals,

reptiles, and birds. The common species of wild

game in the county are eastern wild turkey,

bobwhite quail, white-tailed deer, eastern cottontail

rabbit, fox squirrel, gray squirrel, swamp rabbit, feral

hog, mourning dove, Canada geese, and various

species of ducks. The nongame wildlife species

include armadillos, alligators, various venomous

and non-venomous snakes, and various species of

turtles. Common furbearers include beaver, bobcat,

coyote, fox, opossum, mink, muskrat, nutria, otter,

raccoon, and skunk.

Marsh and wading birds in the county include cattle

egrets, great egrets, great blue herons, green-backed

herons, yellow-crowned night herons, purple

Federal Government has listed as threatened or

endangered include the red-cockaded woodpecker,

bald eagle, and the American alligator.

In upland areas, the woodland generally consists of

loblolly pine, longleaf pine, or mixed pines and

hardwoods. On the flood plains along streams and

rivers, the woodland consists of bottomland

hardwoods. The forest types and their associated

plant communities are of major importance to wildlife.

Many of these woodland areas are managed primarily

to provide habitat for various species of wildlife, such

as bobwhite quail, white-tailed deer, and turkey.

Management practices that benefit wildlife,

including prescribed burning, creating or maintaining

openings in the forest, and thinning stands, are

common throughout the county.

Areas of cultivated crops, hay, and pasture are

commonly interspersed with the woodland. The open

areas are very important to many species of wildlife.

The areas of cropland are primarily used for

agricultural commodities, such as cotton, corn,

peanuts, and soybeans. The pasture and hayland

generally are used for perennial grasses, such as

bahiagrass and bermudagrass.

Wetlands are used by many kinds of wildlife. Many

of the furbearers and wading birds depend almost

exclusively upon these areas. Natural depressions

and areas of saturated soils along creeks and rivers,

bodies of open water, and beaver ponds make up

most of the wetland areas in the county. They occur

mostly along Barbour, Bear, Big, Chewalla, Judy,

Lindsay, Middle Fork Cowikee, North Fork Cowikee,

Pea, Sikes, South Fork Cowikee, and Stinking Creeks

and in areas adjacent to the Chattahoochee, East

Fork Choctawhatchee, Pea, and West Fork

Choctawhatchee Rivers.

Soils affect the kind and amount of vegetation that

is available to wildlife as food and cover. They also

affect the construction of water impoundments. The

kind and abundance of wildlife depend largely on the

amount and distribution of food, cover, and water.

Wildlife habitat can be created or improved by

planting appropriate vegetation, by maintaining the

existing plant cover, or by promoting the natural

establishment of desirable plants.

In table 10, the soils in the survey area are rated
Barbour County, Alabama 99

according to their potential for providing habitat for

various kinds of wildlife. This information can be used

in planning parks, wildlife refuges, nature study areas,

and other developments for wildlife; in selecting soils

that are suitable for establishing, improving, or

maintaining specific elements of wildlife habitat; and in

determining the intensity of management needed for

each element of the habitat.

The potential of the soil is rated good, fair, poor, or

very poor. A rating of good indicates that the element

or kind of habitat is easily established, improved, or

maintained. Few or no limitations affect management,

and satisfactory results can be expected. A rating of

fair indicates that the element or kind of habitat can

be established, improved, or maintained in most

places. Moderately intensive management is required

for satisfactory results. A rating of poor indicates that

limitations are severe for the designated element or

kind of habitat. Habitat can be created, improved, or

maintained in most places, but management is

difficult and must be intensive. A rating of very poor

indicates that restrictions for the element or kind of

habitat are very severe and that unsatisfactory results

can be expected. Creating, improving, or maintaining

habitat is impractical or impossible.

The elements of wildlife habitat are described in

the following paragraphs.

Grain and seed crops are domestic grains and

seed-producing herbaceous plants. Soil properties

and features that affect the growth of grain and seed

crops are depth of the root zone, texture of the

surface layer, available water capacity, wetness,

slope, surface stoniness, and flooding. Examples of

grain and seed crops are corn, wheat, and oats.

Grasses and legumes are domestic perennial

grasses and herbaceous legumes. Soil properties and

features that affect the growth of grasses and

legumes are depth of the root zone, texture of the

surface layer, available water capacity, wetness,

surface stoniness, flooding, and slope. Examples of

grasses and legumes are fescue, lovegrass, brome,

clover, and alfalfa.

Wild herbaceous plants are native or naturally

established grasses and forbs, including weeds. Soil

properties and features that affect the growth of these

plants are depth of the root zone, texture of the

surface layer, available water capacity, wetness,

surface stoniness, and flooding. Examples of wild

herbaceous plants are bluestem, goldenrod,

beggarweed, and grama.

Hardwood trees and woody understory produce

nuts or other fruit, buds, catkins, twigs, bark, and

foliage. Soil properties and features that affect the

growth of hardwood trees and shrubs are depth of the

root zone, available water capacity, and wetness.

Examples of these plants are oak, poplar, cherry,

sweetgum, apple, hawthorn, dogwood, hickory,

blackberry, and blueberry. Examples of fruit-producing

shrubs that are suitable for planting on soils rated

good are Russian olive, autumn olive, and crabapple.

Coniferous plants furnish browse and seeds. Soil

properties and features that affect the growth of

coniferous trees, shrubs, and ground cover are depth

of the root zone, available water capacity, and

wetness. Examples of coniferous plants are pine and

cedar.

Wetland plants are annual and perennial wild

herbaceous plants that grow on moist or wet sites.

Submerged or floating aquatic plants are excluded.

Soil properties and features affecting wetland plants

are texture of the surface layer, wetness, reaction,

slope, and surface stoniness. Examples of wetland

plants are smartweed, wild millet, wildrice, rushes,

sedges, and reeds.

Shallow water areas have an average depth of less

than 5 feet. Some are naturally wet areas. Others are

created by dams, levees, or other water-control

structures. Soil properties and features affecting

shallow water areas are wetness, surface stoniness,

slope, and permeability. Examples of shallow water

areas are marshes, waterfowl feeding areas, and

ponds.

The habitat for various kinds of wildlife is described

in the following paragraphs.

Habitat for openland wildlife consists of cropland,

pasture, meadows, and areas that are overgrown with

grasses, herbs, shrubs, and vines. These areas

produce grain and seed crops, grasses and legumes,

and wild herbaceous plants. Wildlife attracted to these

areas include bobwhite quail, meadowlark, field

sparrow, cottontail, and red fox.

Habitat for woodland wildlife consists of areas of

deciduous and/or coniferous plants and associated

grasses, legumes, and wild herbaceous plants.

Wildlife attracted to these areas include wild turkey,

thrushes, woodpeckers, squirrels, gray fox, raccoon,

and deer.

Habitat for wetland wildlife consists of open,

marshy or swampy shallow water areas. Some of the

wildlife attracted to such areas are ducks, geese,

herons, shore birds, and beaver.

Hydric Soils

In this section, hydric soils are defined and

described and the hydric soils in the survey area are

listed. The hydric soils and criteria are also listed in

table 11.
100 Soil Survey

The three essential characteristics of wetlands are

hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland

hydrology (Cowardin and others, 1979; U.S. Army

Corps of Engineers, 1987; National Research

Council, 1995; Tiner, 1985). Criteria for each of the

characteristics must be met for areas to be identified

as wetlands. Undrained hydric soils that have natural

vegetation should support a dominant population of

ecological wetland plant species. Hydric soils that

have been converted to other uses should be capable

of being restored to wetlands.

Hydric soils are defined by the National Technical

Committee for Hydric Soils (NTCHS) as soils that

formed under conditions of saturation, flooding, or

ponding long enough during the growing season to

develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part

(Federal Register, 1994). These soils are either

saturated or inundated long enough during the

growing season to support the growth and

reproduction of hydrophytic vegetation.

The NTCHS definition identifies general soil

properties that are associated with wetness. In order

to determine whether a specific soil is a hydric soil or

nonhydric soil, however, more specific information,

such as information about the depth and duration of

the water table, is needed. Thus, criteria that identify

those estimated soil properties unique to hydric soils

have been established (Federal Register, 1995).

These criteria are used to identify a phase of a soil

series that normally is associated with wetlands. The

criteria used are selected estimated soil properties

that are described in “Soil Taxonomy” (Soil Survey

Staff, 1999), “Keys to Soil Taxonomy” (Soil Survey

Staff, 1998), and “Soil Survey Manual” (Soil Survey

Division Staff, 1993).

If soils are wet enough for a long enough period to

be considered hydric, they should exhibit certain

properties that can be easily observed in the field.

These visible properties are indicators of hydric soils.

The indicators used to make onsite determinations of

hydric soils in this survey area are specified in “Field

Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States” (Hurt

and others, 1998).

Hydric soils are identified by examining and

describing the soil to a depth of about 20 inches. This

depth may be greater if determination of an

appropriate indicator so requires. It is always

recommended that soils be excavated and described

to the depth necessary for an understanding of the

redoximorphic processes. Then, using the completed

soil descriptions, soil scientists can compare the soil

features required by each indicator and specify which

indicators have been matched with the conditions

observed in the soil. The soil can be identified as a

hydric soil if at least one of the approved indicators is

present.

The following map units meet the definition of

hydric soils and, in addition, have at least one of the

hydric soil indicators. This list can help in planning

land uses; however, onsite investigation is

recommended to determine the hydric soils on a

specific site (National Research Council, 1995; Hurt

and others, 1998).

BbA Bladen fine sandy loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes

BdA Bladen fine sandy loam, 0 to 1 percent slopes,

occasionally flooded

IbA Iuka-Bibb complex, 0 to 1 percent slopes,

frequently flooded

MAA Mantachie, Kinston, and Iuka soils, 0 to 1

percent slopes, frequently flooded

PeA Pelham loamy sand, 0 to 2 percent slopes

UnA Una loam, ponded

YMA Yonges and Muckalee soils, 0 to 2 percent

slopes, frequently flooded

Map units that are made up of hydric soils may

have small areas, or inclusions, of nonhydric soils in

the higher positions on the landform, and map units

made up of nonhydric soils may have inclusions of

hydric soils in the lower positions on the landform.

The following map units, in general, do not meet

the definition of hydric soils because they do not have

one of the hydric soil indicators. A portion of these

map units, however, may include hydric soils. Onsite

investigation is recommended to determine whether

hydric soils occur and the location of the included

hydric soils.

Engineering

This section provides information for planning land

uses related to urban development and to water

management. Soils are rated for various uses, and

the most limiting features are identified. Ratings are

given for building site development, sanitary facilities,

construction materials, and water management. The

ratings are based on observed performance of the

soils and on the data in the tables described under

the heading “Soil Properties.”

Information in this section is intended for land

use planning, for evaluating land use alternatives,

and for planning site investigations prior to design

and construction. The information, however, has

limitations. For example, estimates and other data

generally apply only to that part of the soil between

the surface and a depth of 5 to 7 feet. Because of

the map scale, small areas of different soils may be

included within the mapped areas of a specific soil.

The information is not site specific and does not

eliminate the need for onsite investigation of the

soils or for testing and analysis by personnel

experienced in the design and construction of

engineering works.

Government ordinances and regulations that

restrict certain land uses or impose specific design

criteria were not considered in preparing the

information in this section. Local ordinances and

regulations should be considered in planning, in site

selection, and in design.

Soil properties, site features, and observed

performance were considered in determining the

ratings in this section. During the fieldwork for this soil

survey, determinations were made about particle-size

distribution, liquid limit, plasticity index, soil reaction,

soil wetness, depth to a water table, ponding, slope,

likelihood of flooding, natural soil structure

aggregation, and soil density. Data were collected

about kinds of clay minerals, mineralogy of the sand

and silt fractions, and the kinds of adsorbed cations.

Estimates were made for erodibility, permeability,

corrosivity, shrink-swell potential, available water

capacity, and other behavioral characteristics

affecting engineering uses.

This information can be used to evaluate the

potential of areas for residential, commercial,

industrial, and recreational uses; make preliminary

estimates of construction conditions; evaluate

alternative routes for roads, streets, highways,

pipelines, and underground cables; evaluate

alternative sites for sanitary landfills, septic tank

absorption fields, and sewage lagoons; plan detailed

onsite investigations of soils and geology; locate

potential sources of gravel, sand, earthfill, and topsoil;

plan drainage systems, irrigation systems, ponds,

terraces, and other structures for soil and water

conservation; and predict performance of proposed

small structures and pavements by comparing the

performance of existing similar structures on the

same or similar soils.

The information in the tables, along with the soil

maps, the soil descriptions, and other data provided in

this survey, can be used to make additional

interpretations.

Some of the terms used in this soil survey have a

special meaning in soil science and are defined in the

Glossary.

Building Site Development

Soil properties influence the development of

building sites, including the selection of the site, the

design of the structure, construction, performance

after construction, and maintenance. Tables 12a and
102 Soil Survey

12b show the degree and kind of soil limitations that

affect dwellings with and without basements, small

commercial buildings, local roads and streets, shallow

excavations, and lawns and landscaping.

The ratings in the tables are both verbal and

numerical. Rating class terms indicate the extent to

which the soils are limited by all of the soil features

that affect building site development. Not limited

indicates that the soil has features that are very

favorable for the specified use. Good performance

and very low maintenance can be expected.

Somewhat limited indicates that the soil has

features that are moderately favorable for the

specified use. The limitations can be overcome or

minimized by special planning, design, or

installation. Fair performance and moderate

maintenance can be expected. Very limited

indicates that the soil has one or more features that

are unfavorable for the specified use. The limitations

generally cannot be overcome without major soil

reclamation, special design, or expensive

installation procedures. Poor performance and high

maintenance can be expected.

Numerical ratings in the tables indicate the severity

of individual limitations. The ratings are shown as

decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They

indicate gradations between the point at which a soil

feature has the greatest negative impact on the use

(1.00) and the point at which the soil feature is not a

limitation (0.00).

Dwellings are single-family houses of three stories

or less. For dwellings without basements, the

foundation is assumed to consist of spread footings of

reinforced concrete built on undisturbed soil at a

depth of 2 feet or at the depth of maximum frost

penetration, whichever is deeper. For dwellings with

basements, the foundation is assumed to consist of

spread footings of reinforced concrete built on

undisturbed soil at a depth of about 7 feet. The ratings

for dwellings are based on the soil properties that

affect the capacity of the soil to support a load without

movement and on the properties that affect

excavation and construction costs. The properties that

affect the load-supporting capacity include depth to a

water table, ponding, flooding, subsidence, linear

extensibility (shrink-swell potential), and

compressibility. Compressibility is inferred from the

Unified classification. The properties that affect the

ease and amount of excavation include depth to a

water table, ponding, flooding, slope, and the amount

and size of rock fragments.

Small commercial buildings are structures that are

less than three stories high and do not have

basements. The foundation is assumed to consist of

spread footings of reinforced concrete built on

undisturbed soil at a depth of 2 feet. The ratings are

based on the soil properties that affect the capacity of

the soil to support a load without movement and on

the properties that affect excavation and construction

costs. The properties that affect the load-supporting

capacity include depth to a water table, ponding,

flooding, subsidence, linear extensibility (shrink-swell

potential), and compressibility (which is inferred from

the Unified classification). The properties that affect

the ease and amount of excavation include flooding,

depth to a water table, ponding, slope, and the

amount and size of rock fragments.

Local roads and streets have an all-weather

surface and carry automobile and light truck traffic

all year. They have a subgrade of cut or fill soil

material; a base of gravel, crushed rock, or soil

material stabilized by lime or cement; and a surface

of flexible material (asphalt), rigid material

(concrete), or gravel with a binder. The ratings are

based on the soil properties that affect the ease of

excavation and grading and the traffic-supporting

capacity. The properties that affect the ease of

excavation and grading are depth to a water table,

ponding, flooding, the amount of large stones, and

slope. The properties that affect the trafficsupporting capacity are soil strength (as inferred

from the AASHTO group index number),

subsidence, linear extensibility (shrink-swell

potential), depth to a water table, and ponding.

Shallow excavations are trenches or holes dug to a

maximum depth of 5 or 6 feet for graves, utility lines,

open ditches, or other purposes. The ratings are

based on the soil properties that influence the ease of

digging and the resistance to sloughing. Dense layers

influence the ease of digging, filling, and compacting.

Depth to the seasonal high water table, flooding, and

ponding may restrict the period when excavations can

be made. Slope influences the ease of using

machinery. Soil texture, depth to the water table, and

linear extensibility (shrink-swell potential) influence

the resistance to sloughing.

Lawns and landscaping require soils on which turf

and ornamental trees and shrubs can be established

and maintained. Irrigation is not considered in the

ratings. The ratings are based on the soil properties

that affect plant growth and trafficability after

vegetation is established. The properties that affect

plant growth are reaction, depth to a water table,

ponding, and the available water capacity in the upper

40 inches. The properties that affect trafficability are

flooding, depth to a water table, ponding, slope,

stoniness, and the amount of sand or clay in the

surface layer.
Barbour County, Alabama 103

Sanitary Facilities

Tables 13a and 13b show the degree and kind of

soil limitations that affect septic tank absorption fields,

sewage lagoons, sanitary landfills, and daily cover for

landfill. The ratings are both verbal and numerical.

Rating class terms indicate the extent to which the

soils are limited by all of the soil features that affect

these uses. Not limited indicates that the soil has

features that are very favorable for the specified use.

Good performance and very low maintenance can be

expected. Somewhat limited indicates that the soil has

features that are moderately favorable for the

specified use. The limitations can be overcome or

minimized by special planning, design, or installation.

Fair performance and moderate maintenance can be

expected. Very limited indicates that the soil has one

or more features that are unfavorable for the specified

use. The limitations generally cannot be overcome

without major soil reclamation, special design, or

expensive installation procedures. Poor performance

and high maintenance can be expected.

Numerical ratings in the tables indicate the severity

of individual limitations. The ratings are shown as

decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They

indicate gradations between the point at which a soil

feature has the greatest negative impact on the use

(1.00) and the point at which the soil feature is not a

limitation (0.00).

Septic tank absorption fields are areas in which

effluent from a septic tank is distributed into the soil

through subsurface tiles or perforated pipe. Only that

part of the soil between depths of 24 and 60 inches is

evaluated. The ratings are based on the soil

properties that affect absorption of the effluent,

construction and maintenance of the system, and

public health. Permeability, depth to a water table,

ponding, and flooding affect absorption of the effluent.

Subsidence interferes with installation and

maintenance. Excessive slope may cause lateral

seepage and surfacing of the effluent in downslope

areas.

Some soils are underlain by loose sand and gravel

or fractured bedrock at a depth of less than 4 feet

below the distribution lines. In these soils the

absorption field may not adequately filter the effluent,

particularly when the system is new. As a result, the

ground water may become contaminated.

Sewage lagoons are shallow ponds constructed to

hold sewage while aerobic bacteria decompose the

solid and liquid wastes. Lagoons should have a nearly

level floor surrounded by cut slopes or embankments

of compacted soil. Nearly impervious soil material for

the lagoon floor and sides is required to minimize

seepage and contamination of ground water.

Considered in the ratings are slope, permeability,

depth to a water table, ponding, and flooding.

Soil permeability is a critical property affecting the

suitability for sewage lagoons. Most porous soils

eventually become sealed when they are used as

sites for sewage lagoons. Until sealing occurs,

however, the hazard of pollution is severe. Soils that

have a permeability rate of more than 2 inches per

hour are too porous for the proper functioning of

sewage lagoons. In these soils, seepage of the

effluent can result in contamination of the ground

water. Ground-water contamination is also a hazard if

fractured bedrock is within a depth of 40 inches, if the

water table is high enough to raise the level of sewage

in the lagoon, or if floodwater overtops the lagoon.

Slope can cause construction problems. If the

lagoon is to be uniformly deep throughout, the slope

must be gentle enough to make land smoothing

practical.

A trench sanitary landfill is an area where solid

waste is placed in successive layers in an excavated

trench. The waste is spread, compacted, and covered

daily with a thin layer of soil excavated at the site.

When the trench is full, a final cover of soil material at

least 2 feet thick is placed over the landfill. The ratings

in the table are based on the soil properties that affect

the risk of pollution, the ease of excavation,

trafficability, and revegetation. These properties

include permeability, depth to a water table, ponding,

slope, flooding, texture, and soil reaction. Unless

otherwise stated, the ratings apply only to that part of

the soil within a depth of about 6 feet. For deeper

trenches, onsite investigation may be needed.

Highly permeable strata in or directly below the

proposed trench bottom can affect the ease of

excavation and the hazard of ground-water pollution.

Slope affects construction of the trenches and the

movement of surface water around the landfill. It also

affects the construction and performance of roads in

areas of the landfill.

Soil texture and consistence affect the ease with

which the trench is dug and the ease with which the

soil can be used as daily or final cover. They

determine the workability of the soil when dry and

when wet. Soils that are plastic and sticky when wet

are difficult to excavate, grade, or compact and are

difficult to place as a uniformly thick cover over a layer

of refuse.

The soil material used as the final cover for a

trench landfill should be suitable for plants. It should

not be too acid. The surface layer generally has the

best workability, the highest content of organic matter,

and the best potential for plants. Material from the
104 Soil Survey

surface layer should be stockpiled for use as the final

cover.

In an area sanitary landfill, solid waste is placed in

successive layers on the surface of the soil. The

waste is spread, compacted, and covered daily with a

thin layer of soil from a source away from the site. A

final cover of soil material at least 2 feet thick is

placed over the completed landfill. The ratings in the

table are based on the soil properties that affect

trafficability and the risk of pollution. These properties

include flooding, permeability, depth to a water table,

ponding, and slope.

Flooding is a serious problem because it can result

in pollution in areas downstream from the landfill. If

permeability is too rapid or the water table is close to

the surface, the leachate can contaminate the water

supply. Slope is a consideration because of the extra

grading required to maintain roads in the steeper

areas of the landfill. Also, leachate may flow along the

surface of the soils in the steeper areas and cause

difficult seepage problems.

Daily cover for landfill is the soil material that is

used to cover compacted solid waste in an area

sanitary landfill. The soil material is obtained offsite,

transported to the landfill, and spread over the waste.

The ratings in the table also apply to the final cover for

a landfill. They are based on the soil properties that

affect workability, the ease of digging, and the ease of

moving and spreading the material over the refuse

daily during wet and dry periods. These properties

include soil texture, depth to a water table, ponding,

rock fragments, slope, and reaction.

Loamy soils that are free of large stones and

excess gravel are the best cover for a landfill. Clayey

soils may be sticky and difficult to spread; sandy soils

are subject to wind erosion.

Slope affects the ease of excavation and of moving

the cover material. Also, it can influence runoff,

erosion, and reclamation of the borrow area.

After soil material has been removed, the soil

material remaining in the borrow area must be thick

enough over the water table to permit revegetation.

The soil material used as the final cover for a landfill

should be suitable for plants. It should not be too acid.

Construction Materials

Tables 14a and 14b give information about the soils

as potential sources of gravel, sand, topsoil,

reclamation material, and roadfill. Normal compaction,

minor processing, and other standard construction

practices are assumed.

Sand and gravel are natural aggregates suitable for

commercial use with a minimum of processing. They

are used in many kinds of construction. Specifications

for each use vary widely. In table 14a, only the

likelihood of finding material in suitable quantity is

evaluated. The suitability of the material for specific

purposes is not evaluated, nor are factors that affect

excavation of the material. The properties used to

evaluate the soil as a source of sand or gravel are

gradation of grain sizes (as indicated by the Unified

classification of the soil), the thickness of suitable

material, and the content of rock fragments. If the

bottom layer of the soil contains sand or gravel, the

soil is considered a likely source regardless of

thickness. The assumption is that the sand or gravel

layer below the depth of observation exceeds the

minimum thickness.

The soils are rated good, fair, or poor as potential

sources of sand and gravel. A rating of good or fair

means that the source material is likely to be in or

below the soil. The bottom layer and the thickest layer

of the soils are assigned numerical ratings. These

ratings indicate the likelihood that the layer is a

source of sand or gravel. The number 0.00 indicates

that the layer is a poor source. The number 1.00

indicates that the layer is a good source. A number

between 0.00 and 1.00 indicates the degree to which

the layer is a likely source.

The soils are rated good, fair, or poor as potential

sources of topsoil, reclamation material, and roadfill.

The features that limit the soils as sources of these

materials are specified in the tables. The numerical

ratings given after the specified features indicate the

degree to which the features limit the soils as sources

of topsoil, reclamation material, or roadfill. The lower

the number, the greater the limitation.

Topsoil is used to cover an area so that vegetation

can be established and maintained. The upper 40

inches of a soil is evaluated for use as topsoil. Also

evaluated is the reclamation potential of the borrow

area. The ratings are based on the soil properties that

affect plant growth; the ease of excavating, loading,

and spreading the material; and reclamation of the

borrow area. Toxic substances, soil reaction, and the

properties that are inferred from soil texture, such as

available water capacity and fertility, affect plant

growth. The ease of excavating, loading, and

spreading is affected by rock fragments, slope, depth

to a water table, soil texture, and thickness of suitable

material. Reclamation of the borrow area is affected

by slope, depth to a water table, rock fragments, and

toxic material.

The surface layer of most soils is generally

preferred for topsoil because of its organic matter

content. Organic matter greatly increases the

absorption and retention of moisture and nutrients for

plant growth.
Barbour County, Alabama 105

Reclamation material is used in areas that have

been drastically disturbed by surface mining or similar

activities. When these areas are reclaimed, layers of

soil material or unconsolidated geological material, or

both, are replaced in a vertical sequence. The

reconstructed soil favors plant growth. The ratings in

the table do not apply to quarries and other mined

areas that require an offsite source of reconstruction

material. The ratings are based on the soil properties

that affect erosion and stability of the surface and the

productive potential of the reconstructed soil. These

properties include reaction, available water capacity,

erodibility, texture, content of rock fragments, and

content of organic matter and other features that

affect fertility.

Roadfill is soil material that is excavated in one

place and used in road embankments in another

place. In this table, the soils are rated as a source of

roadfill for low embankments, generally less than 6

feet high and less exacting in design than higher

embankments.

The ratings are for the whole soil, from the surface

to a depth of about 5 feet. It is assumed that soil

layers will be mixed when the soil material is

excavated and spread.

The ratings are based on the amount of suitable

material and on soil properties that affect the ease

of excavation and the performance of the material

after it is in place. The thickness of the suitable

material is a major consideration. The ease of

excavation is affected by depth to a water table and

by slope. How well the soil performs in place after it

has been compacted and drained is determined by

its strength (as inferred from the AASHTO

classification of the soil) and linear extensibility

(shrink-swell potential).

Water Management

Table 15 gives information on the soil properties

and site features that affect water management. The

degree and kind of soil limitations are given for pond

reservoir areas; embankments, dikes, and levees; and

aquifer-fed excavated ponds. The ratings are both

verbal and numerical. Rating class terms indicate the

extent to which the soils are limited by all of the soil

features that affect these uses. Not limited indicates

that the soil has features that are very favorable for

the specified use. Good performance and very low

maintenance can be expected. Somewhat limited

indicates that the soil has features that are

moderately favorable for the specified use. The

limitations can be overcome or minimized by special

planning, design, or installation. Fair performance and

moderate maintenance can be expected. Very limited

indicates that the soil has one or more features that

are unfavorable for the specified use. The limitations

generally cannot be overcome without major soil

reclamation, special design, or expensive installation

procedures. Poor performance and high maintenance

can be expected.

Numerical ratings in the tables indicate the severity

of individual limitations. The ratings are shown as

decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They

indicate gradations between the point at which a soil

feature has the greatest negative impact on the use

(1.00) and the point at which the soil feature is not a

limitation (0.00).

Pond reservoir areas hold water behind a dam or

embankment. Soils best suited to this use have low

seepage potential in the upper 60 inches. The

seepage potential is determined by the permeability

of the soil and the depth to permeable material.

Excessive slope can affect the storage capacity of the

reservoir area.

Embankments, dikes, and levees are raised

structures of soil material, generally less than 20 feet

high, constructed to impound water or to protect land

against overflow. Embankments that have zoned

construction (core and shell) are not considered. In

this table, the soils are rated as a source of material

for embankment fill. The ratings apply to the soil

material below the surface layer to a depth of about 5

feet. It is assumed that soil layers will be uniformly

mixed and compacted during construction.

The ratings do not indicate the ability of the natural

soil to support an embankment. Soil properties to a

depth even greater than the height of the

embankment can affect performance and safety of the

embankment. Generally, deeper onsite investigation is

needed to determine these properties.

Soil material in embankments must be resistant to

seepage, piping, and erosion and have favorable

compaction characteristics. Unfavorable features

include less than 5 feet of suitable material. A high

water table affects the amount of usable material. It

also affects trafficability.

Aquifer-fed excavated ponds are pits or dugouts

that extend to a ground-water aquifer or to a depth

below a permanent water table. Excluded are ponds

that are fed only by surface runoff and embankment

ponds that impound water 3 feet or more above the

original surface. Excavated ponds are affected by

depth to a permanent water table and by permeability

of the aquifer.

107

Data relating to soil properties are collected during

the course of the soil survey.

Soil properties are ascertained by field examination

of the soils and by laboratory index testing of some

benchmark soils. Established standard procedures

are followed. During the survey, many shallow borings

are made and examined to identify and classify the

soils and to delineate them on the soil maps. Samples

are taken from some typical profiles and tested in the

laboratory to determine particle-size distribution,

plasticity, and compaction characteristics.

Estimates of soil properties are based on field

examinations, on laboratory tests of samples from the

survey area, and on laboratory tests of samples of

similar soils in nearby areas. Tests verify field

observations, verify properties that cannot be

estimated accurately by field observation, and help to

characterize key soils.

The estimates of soil properties are shown in

tables. They include engineering index properties,

physical and chemical properties, and pertinent soil

and water features.

Engineering Index Properties

Table 16 gives the engineering classifications and

the range of index properties for the layers of each

soil in the survey area.

Depth to the upper and lower boundaries of each

layer is indicated.

Texture is given in the standard terms used by the

U.S. Department of Agriculture. These terms are

defined according to percentages of sand, silt, and

clay in the fraction of the soil that is less than 2

millimeters in diameter. “Loam,” for example, is soil

that is 7 to 27 percent clay, 28 to 50 percent silt, and

less than 52 percent sand. If the content of particles

coarser than sand is 15 percent or more, an

appropriate modifier is added, for example, “gravelly.”

Textural terms are defined in the Glossary.

Classification of the soils is determined according

to the Unified soil classification system (ASTM, 2001)

and the system adopted by the American Association

of State Highway and Transportation Officials

(AASHTO, 2000).

The Unified system classifies soils according to

properties that affect their use as construction

material. Soils are classified according to particle-size

distribution of the fraction less than 3 inches in

diameter and according to plasticity index, liquid limit,

and organic matter content. Sandy and gravelly soils

are identified as GW, GP, GM, GC, SW, SP, SM, and

SC; silty and clayey soils as ML, CL, OL, MH, CH,

and OH; and highly organic soils as PT. Soils

exhibiting engineering properties of two groups can

have a dual classification, for example, CL-ML.

The AASHTO system classifies soils according to

those properties that affect roadway construction and

maintenance. In this system, the fraction of a mineral

soil that is less than 3 inches in diameter is classified

in one of seven groups from A-1 through A-7 on the

basis of particle-size distribution, liquid limit, and

plasticity index. Soils in group A-1 are coarse grained

and low in content of fines (silt and clay). At the other

extreme, soils in group A-7 are fine grained. Highly

organic soils are classified in group A-8 on the basis

of visual inspection.

If laboratory data are available, the A-1, A-2, and

A-7 groups are further classified as A-1-a, A-1-b,

A-2-4, A-2-5, A-2-6, A-2-7, A-7-5, or A-7-6. As an

additional refinement, the suitability of a soil as

subgrade material can be indicated by a group index

number. Group index numbers range from 0 for the

best subgrade material to 20 or higher for the poorest.

Rock fragments larger than 10 inches in diameter

and 3 to 10 inches in diameter are indicated as a

percentage of the total soil on a dry-weight basis. The

percentages are estimates determined mainly by

converting volume percentage in the field to weight

percentage.

Percentage (of soil particles) passing designated

sieves is the percentage of the soil fraction less than

3 inches in diameter based on an ovendry weight. The

sieves, numbers 4, 10, 40, and 200 (USA Standard

Series), have openings of 4.76, 2.00, 0.420, and

0.074 millimeters, respectively. Estimates are based

on laboratory tests of soils sampled in the survey

area and in nearby areas and on estimates made in

the field.

Liquid limit and plasticity index (Atterberg limits)

Soil Properties
108 Soil Survey

indicate the plasticity characteristics of a soil. The

estimates are based on test data from the survey

area or from nearby areas and on field examination.

The estimates of particle-size distribution, liquid

limit, and plasticity index are generally rounded to the

nearest 5 percent. Thus, if the ranges of gradation

and Atterberg limits extend a marginal amount (1 or 2

percentage points) across classification boundaries,

the classification in the marginal zone is generally

omitted in the table.

Physical Properties

Table 17 shows estimates of some physical

characteristics and features that affect soil behavior.

These estimates are given for the layers of each soil

in the survey area. The estimates are based on field

observations and on test data for these and similar

soils.

Depth to the upper and lower boundaries of each

layer is indicated.

Particle size is the effective diameter of a soil

particle as measured by sedimentation, sieving, or

micrometric methods. Particle sizes are expressed as

classes with specific effective diameter class limits.

The broad classes are sand, silt, and clay, ranging

from the larger to the smaller.

Clay as a soil separate consists of mineral soil

particles that are less than 0.002 millimeter in

diameter. In table 17, the estimated clay content of

each soil layer is given as a percentage, by weight, of

the soil material that is less than 2 millimeters in

diameter.

The content of clay affects the physical behavior of

a soil. Particle size is important for engineering and

agronomic interpretations, for determination of soil

hydrologic qualities, and for soil classification.

The amount and kind of clay affect the fertility and

physical condition of the soil and the ability of the soil

to adsorb cations and to retain moisture. They

influence shrink-swell potential, permeability,

plasticity, the ease of soil dispersion, and other soil

properties. The amount and kind of clay in a soil also

affect tillage and earthmoving operations.

Moist bulk density is the weight of soil (ovendry)

per unit volume. Volume is measured when the soil

is at field moisture capacity, that is, the moisture

content at 1/3- or 1/10-bar (33kPa or 10kPa) moisture

tension. Weight is determined after the soil is dried

at 105 degrees C. In the table, the estimated moist

bulk density of each soil horizon is expressed in

grams per cubic centimeter of soil material that is

less than 2 millimeters in diameter. Bulk density

data are used to compute shrink-swell potential,

available water capacity, total pore space, and other

soil properties. The moist bulk density of a soil

indicates the pore space available for water and

roots. Depending on soil texture, a bulk density of

more than 1.4 can restrict water storage and root

penetration. Moist bulk density is influenced by

texture, kind of clay, content of organic matter, and

soil structure.

Permeability (Ksat ) refers to the ability of a soil to

transmit water or air. The term “permeability,” as used

in soil surveys, indicates saturated hydraulic

conductivity (Ksat ). The estimates in the table indicate

the rate of water movement, in inches per hour, when

the soil is saturated. They are based on soil

characteristics observed in the field, particularly

structure, porosity, and texture. Permeability is

considered in the design of soil drainage systems and

septic tank absorption fields.

Available water capacity refers to the quantity of

water that the soil is capable of storing for use by

plants. The capacity for water storage is given in

inches of water per inch of soil for each soil layer. The

capacity varies, depending on soil properties that

affect retention of water. The most important

properties are the content of organic matter, soil

texture, bulk density, and soil structure. Available

water capacity is an important factor in the choice of

plants or crops to be grown and in the design and

management of irrigation systems. Available water

capacity is not an estimate of the quantity of water

actually available to plants at any given time.

Linear extensibility refers to the change in length of

an unconfined clod as moisture content is decreased

from a moist to a dry state. It is an expression of the

volume change between the water content of the clod

at 1/3- or 1/10-bar tension (33kPa or 10kPa tension) and

oven dryness. The volume change is reported in the

table as percent change for the whole soil. Volume

change is influenced by the amount and type of clay

minerals in the soil.

Linear extensibility is used to determine the shrinkswell potential of soils. The shrink-swell potential is

low if the soil has a linear extensibility of less than 3

percent; moderate if 3 to 6 percent; high if 6 to 9

percent; and very high if more than 9 percent. If the

linear extensibility is more than 3, shrinking and

swelling can cause damage to buildings, roads, and

other structures and to plant roots. Special design

commonly is needed.

Organic matter is the plant and animal residue in

the soil at various stages of decomposition. In table

17, the estimated content of organic matter is

expressed as a percentage, by weight, of the soil

material that is less than 2 millimeters in diameter.
Barbour County, Alabama 109

The content of organic matter in a soil can be

maintained by returning crop residue to the soil.

Organic matter has a positive effect on available

water capacity, water infiltration, soil organism activity,

and tilth. It is a source of nitrogen and other nutrients

for crops and soil organisms.

Erosion factors are shown in table 17 as the K

factor (Kw and Kf) and the T factor. Erosion factor K

indicates the susceptibility of a soil to sheet and rill

erosion by water. Factor K is one of six factors used in

the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and the

Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) to

predict the average annual rate of soil loss by sheet

and rill erosion in tons per acre per year. The

estimates are based primarily on percentage of silt,

sand, and organic matter and on soil structure and

permeability. Values of K range from 0.02 to 0.69.

Other factors being equal, the higher the value, the

more susceptible the soil is to sheet and rill erosion

by water (fig. 6).

Erosion factor Kw indicates the erodibility of the

whole soil. The estimates are modified by the

presence of rock fragments.

Erosion factor Kf indicates the erodibility of the

fine-earth fraction, or the material less than 2

millimeters in size.

Erosion factor T is an estimate of the maximum

average annual rate of soil erosion by wind or water

that can occur without affecting crop productivity over

a sustained period. The rate is in tons per acre per

year.

Chemical Properties

Table 18 shows estimates of some chemical

characteristics and features that affect soil behavior.

These estimates are given for the layers of each soil

in the survey area. The estimates are based on field

observations and on test data for these and similar

soils.

Depth to the upper and lower boundaries of each

layer is indicated.

Figure 6.—An area of Cowarts-Maubila complex, 8 to 15 percent slopes, that has been mined for kaolinite and has not been

reclaimed. Such areas are susceptible to erosion until they are reclaimed.
110 Soil Survey

Cation-exchange capacity is the total amount of

extractable bases that can be held by the soil,

expressed in terms of milliequivalents per 100 grams

of soil at neutrality (pH 7.0) or at some other stated

pH value. Soils having a low cation-exchange capacity

hold fewer cations and may require more frequent

applications of fertilizer than soils having a high

cation-exchange capacity. The ability to retain cations

reduces the hazard of ground-water pollution.

Effective cation-exchange capacity refers to the

sum of extractable bases plus aluminum expressed in

terms of milliequivalents per 100 grams of soil. It is

determined for soils that have pH of less than 5.5.

Soil reaction is a measure of acidity or alkalinity.

The pH of each soil horizon is based on many field

tests. For many soils, values have been verified by

laboratory analyses. Soil reaction is important in

selecting crops and other plants, in evaluating soil

amendments for fertility and stabilization, and in

determining the risk of corrosion.

Calcium carbonate equivalent is the percent of

carbonates, by weight, in the fraction of the soil less

than 2 millimeters in size. The availability of plant

nutrients is influenced by the amount of carbonates in

the soil. Incorporating nitrogen fertilizer into

calcareous soils helps to prevent nitrite accumulation

and ammonium-N volatilization.

Water Features

Table 19 gives estimates of various water features.

The estimates are used in land use planning that

involves engineering considerations.

Hydrologic soil groups are based on estimates of

runoff potential. Soils are assigned to one of four

groups according to the rate of water infiltration when

the soils are not protected by vegetation, are

thoroughly wet, and receive precipitation from longduration storms.

The four hydrologic soil groups are:

Group A. Soils having a high infiltration rate (low

runoff potential) when thoroughly wet. These consist

mainly of deep, well drained to excessively drained

sands or gravelly sands. These soils have a high rate

of water transmission.

Group B. Soils having a moderate infiltration rate

when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of

moderately deep or deep, moderately well drained or

well drained soils that have moderately fine texture to

moderately coarse texture. These soils have a

moderate rate of water transmission.

Group C. Soils having a slow infiltration rate when

thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of soils having a

layer that impedes the downward movement of water

or soils of moderately fine texture or fine texture.

These soils have a slow rate of water transmission.

Group D. Soils having a very slow infiltration rate

(high runoff potential) when thoroughly wet. These

consist chiefly of clays that have a high shrink-swell

potential, soils that have a high water table, soils that

have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface,

and soils that are shallow over nearly impervious

material. These soils have a very slow rate of water

transmission.

If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (A/D,

B/D, or C/D), the first letter is for drained areas and

the second is for undrained areas.

The months in the table indicate the portion of the

year in which the feature is most likely to be a

concern.

Water table refers to a saturated zone in the soil.

Table 19 indicates, by month, depth to the top (upper

limit) and base (lower limit) of the saturated zone in

most years. Estimates of the upper and lower limits

are based mainly on observations of the water table

at selected sites and on evidence of a saturated zone,

namely grayish colors or mottles (redoximorphic

features) in the soil. A saturated zone that lasts for

less than a month is not considered a water table.

Ponding is standing water in a closed depression.

Unless a drainage system is installed, the water is

removed only by percolation, transpiration, or

evaporation. Table 19 indicates surface water depth

and the duration and frequency of ponding. Duration

is expressed as very brief if less than 2 days, brief if 2

to 7 days, long if 7 to 30 days, and very long if more

than 30 days. Frequency is expressed as none, rare,

occasional, and frequent. None means that ponding is

not probable; rare that it is unlikely but possible under

unusual weather conditions (the chance of ponding is

nearly 0 percent to 5 percent in any year); occasional

that it occurs, on the average, once or less in 2 years

(the chance of ponding is 5 to 50 percent in any year);

and frequent that it occurs, on the average, more than

once in 2 years (the chance of ponding is more than

50 percent in any year).

Flooding is the temporary inundation of an area

caused by overflowing streams, by runoff from

adjacent slopes, or by tides. Water standing for short

periods after rainfall or snowmelt is not considered

flooding, and water standing in swamps and marshes

is considered ponding rather than flooding.

Duration and frequency are estimated. Duration

is expressed as extremely brief if 0.1 hour to 4

hours, very brief if 4 hours to 2 days, brief if 2 to 7

days, long if 7 to 30 days, and very long if more
Barbour County, Alabama 111

than 30 days. Frequency is expressed as none, very

rare, rare, occasional, frequent, and very frequent.

None means that flooding is not probable; very rare

that it is very unlikely but possible under extremely

unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding

is less than 1 percent in any year); rare that it is

unlikely but possible under unusual weather

conditions (the chance of flooding is 1 to 5 percent

in any year); occasional that it occurs infrequently

under normal weather conditions (the chance of

flooding is 5 to 50 percent in any year); frequent

that it is likely to occur often under normal weather

conditions (the chance of flooding is more than 50

percent in any year but is less than 50 percent in all

months in any year); and very frequent that it is

likely to occur very often under normal weather

conditions (the chance of flooding is more than 50

percent in all months of any year).

The information is based on evidence in the soil

profile, namely thin strata of gravel, sand, silt, or clay

deposited by floodwater; irregular decrease in organic

matter content with increasing depth; and little or no

horizon development.

Also considered are local information about the

extent and levels of flooding and the relation of each

soil on the landscape to historic floods. Information on

the extent of flooding based on soil data is less

specific than that provided by detailed engineering

surveys that delineate flood-prone areas at specific

flood frequency levels.

Soil Features

Table 20 gives estimates of various soil features.

The estimates are used in land use planning that

involves engineering considerations.

A restrictive layer is a nearly continuous layer that

has one or more physical, chemical, or thermal

properties that significantly impede the movement of

water and air through the soil or that restrict roots or

otherwise provide an unfavorable root environment.

An example is dense layers. The table indicates the

hardness and thickness of the restrictive layer, both of

which significantly affect the ease of excavation.

Depth to top is the vertical distance from the soil

surface to the upper boundary of the restrictive layer.

Subsidence is the settlement of organic soils or

of saturated mineral soils of very low density.

Subsidence generally results from either

desiccation and shrinkage or oxidation of organic

material, or both, following drainage. Subsidence

takes place gradually, usually over a period of

several years. The table shows the expected initial

subsidence, which usually is a result of drainage,

and total subsidence, which results from a

combination of factors.

Risk of corrosion pertains to potential soilinduced electrochemical or chemical action that

corrodes or weakens uncoated steel or concrete.

The rate of corrosion of uncoated steel is related to

such factors as soil moisture, particle-size

distribution, acidity, and electrical conductivity of the

soil. The rate of corrosion of concrete is based

mainly on texture, moisture content, and acidity of

the soil. Special site examination and design may

be needed if the combination of factors results in a

severe hazard of corrosion. The steel or concrete in

installations that intersect soil boundaries or soil

layers is more susceptible to corrosion than the

steel or concrete in installations that are entirely

within one kind of soil or within one soil layer.

For uncoated steel, the risk of corrosion,

expressed as low, moderate, or high, is based on soil

drainage class, total acidity, electrical resistivity near

field capacity, and electrical conductivity of the

saturation extract.

For concrete, the risk of corrosion also is

expressed as low, moderate, or high. It is based on

soil texture, acidity, and amount of sulfates in the

saturation extract.

Physical and Chemical Analyses of

Selected Soils

The results of physical analysis of several typical

pedons in the survey area are given in table 21 and

the results of chemical analysis in table 22. The data

are for soils sampled at carefully selected sites.

Unless otherwise indicated, the pedons are typical of

the series. They are described in the section “Soil

Series and Their Morphology.” Soil samples were

analyzed by the Agronomy and Soils Mineralogy

Laboratory, Auburn University, and the National Soil

Survey Laboratory, Natural Resources Conservation

Service, Lincoln, Nebraska.

Most determinations, except those for grain-size

analysis and bulk density, were made on soil material

smaller than 2 millimeters in diameter. Measurements

reported as percent or quantity of unit weight were

calculated on an ovendry basis. The methods used in

obtaining the data are indicated in the list that follows.

The codes in parentheses refer to published methods

(USDA, 1996).

Sand—(0.05-2.0 mm fraction) weight percentages of

material less than 2 mm (3A1).

Silt—(0.002-0.05 mm fraction) pipette extraction, weight

percentages of all material less than 2 mm (3A1).
112

Clay—(fraction less than 0.002 mm) pipette

extraction, weight percentages of material less

than 2 mm (3A1).

Aluminum—acid oxalate extraction (6G12b).

Base saturation—method of Hajek, Adams, and Cope

(Hajek and others, 1972).

Cation-exchange capacity—ammonium acetate, pH

7.0, steam distillation (5A8b).

Cation-exchange capacity—sum of cations (5A3a).

Extractable bases—method of Hajek, Adams, and

Cope (Hajek and others, 1972).

Extractable acidity—method of Hajek, Adams, and

Cope (Hajek and others, 1972).

Effective cation-exchange capacity—sum of

extractable cations plus aluminum (5A3b).

Reaction (pH)—1:1 water dilution (8C1f).
113

The system of soil classification used by the

National Cooperative Soil Survey has six categories

(Soil Survey Staff, 1998 and 1999). Beginning with

the broadest, these categories are the order,

suborder, great group, subgroup, family, and series.

Classification is based on soil properties observed

in the field or inferred from those observations or

from laboratory measurements. Table 23 shows the

classification of the soils in the survey area. The

categories are defined in the following paragraphs.

ORDER. Twelve soil orders are recognized. The

differences among orders reflect the dominant soilforming processes and the degree of soil formation.

Each order is identified by a word ending in sol. An

example is Ultisol.

SUBORDER. Each order is divided into

suborders primarily on the basis of properties that

influence soil genesis and are important to plant

growth or properties that reflect the most important

variables within the orders. The last syllable in the

name of a suborder indicates the order. An example is

Udult (Ud, meaning humid, plus ult, from Ultisol).

GREAT GROUP. Each suborder is divided into

great groups on the basis of close similarities in kind,

arrangement, and degree of development of

pedogenic horizons; soil moisture and temperature

regimes; type of saturation; and base status. Each

great group is identified by the name of a suborder

and by a prefix that indicates a property of the soil. An

example is Paleudults (Pale, meaning thick

horizonation, plus udult, the suborder of the Ultisols

that has a udic moisture regime).

SUBGROUP. Each great group has a typic

subgroup. Other subgroups are intergrades or

extragrades. The typic subgroup is the central concept

of the great group; it is not necessarily the most

extensive. Intergrades are transitions to other orders,

suborders, or great groups. Extragrades have some

properties that are not representative of the great

group but do not indicate transitions to any other

taxonomic class. Each subgroup is identified by one

or more adjectives preceding the name of the great

group. The adjective Grossarenic identifies the

subgroup that has sandy surface and subsurface

layers with a combined thickness of 40 to 80 inches.

An example is Grossarenic Paleudults.

FAMILY. Families are established within a

subgroup on the basis of physical and chemical

properties and other characteristics that affect

management. Generally, the properties are those of

horizons below plow depth where there is much

biological activity. Among the properties and

characteristics considered are particle-size class,

mineralogy class, cation-exchange activity class, soil

temperature regime, soil depth, and reaction class. A

family name consists of the name of a subgroup

preceded by terms that indicate soil properties. An

example is loamy, siliceous, subactive, thermic

Grossarenic Paleudults.

SERIES. The series consists of soils within a

family that have horizons similar in color, texture,

structure, reaction, consistence, mineral and chemical

composition, and arrangement in the profile. An

example is the Blanton series.

Soil Series and Their Morphology

In this section, each soil series recognized in the

survey area is described. Characteristics of the soil

and the material in which it formed are identified for

each series. A pedon, a small three-dimensional area

of soil, that is typical of the series in the survey area

is described. The detailed description of each soil

horizon follows standards in the “Soil Survey Manual”

(Soil Survey Division Staff, 1993). Many of the

technical terms used in the descriptions are defined in

“Soil Taxonomy” (Soil Survey Staff, 1999) and in “Keys

to Soil Taxonomy” (Soil Survey Staff, 1998). Unless

otherwise indicated, colors in the descriptions are for

moist soil. Following the pedon description is the

range of important characteristics of the soils in the

series.

In this section, the factors of soil formation are

related to the soils in Barbour County and the

processes of horizon differentiation are explained

Factors of Soil Formation

Soil is a natural, three-dimensional body on the

earth’s surface that supports plants. It forms through

weathering and other processes that act on deposited

or accumulated geologic material. The kind of soil that

forms depends on the type of parent material; the

climate under which soil material has existed since

accumulation; the relief, or lay of the land; the plant

and animal life in and on the soil; and the length of

time that the forces of soil formation have acted on

the soil material. The relative importance of each of

these factors differs from place to place; in some

areas, one factor is more important, and in other

areas another may dominate. A modification or

variation in any of the factors results in a different kind

of soil (Jenny, 1941; Buol and others, 1980).

Climate and living organisms are the active factors

of soil formation. They act on parent material and

change it to a natural body with definite

characteristics. The effects of climate and living

organisms are conditioned by relief, which influences

surface drainage, the amount of water that percolates

through the soil, the rate of erosion, and the kind of

vegetation that grows on the soil. The nature of the

parent material also affects the kind of soil profile that

is formed. Time is needed for the parent material to

change into a soil. The development of a distinct soil

horizon normally requires a long period of time.

Parent Material

The soils of Barbour County formed mainly in two

kinds of parent material, marine sediments that have

undergone considerable weathering in place and

water-deposited material on stream terraces and

flood plains. Conecuh, Cowarts, Dothan, Hannon,

Luverne, and Orangeburg soils formed in weathered

marine sediments. Kinston, Iuka, Bibb, and Una soils

formed in the water-deposited material on stream

terraces and flood plains.

Climate

The climate of Barbour County is warm and humid.

Summers are long and hot. Winters are short and

mild, and the ground rarely freezes to a depth of more

than a few inches. The climate is fairly even throughout

the county and accounts for few differences between

the soils. Rainfall averages 51 inches a year. This mild,

humid climate favors rapid decomposition of organic

matter and increases the rate of chemical reactions in

the soil. The plentiful rainfall leaches large amounts of

soluble bases and carries the less soluble fine

particles downward, resulting in acid and sandy soils

that are low in natural fertility. The large amount of

moisture and the warm temperature favor the growth

of bacteria and fungi and speed the decomposition of

organic matter, resulting in soils that have a low

content of organic matter.

Relief

Relief varies significantly in Barbour County and

generally can be related to the physiographic regions

and geologic units in the county. It ranges from very

low on the flood plains and stream terraces to very

high in the dissected hills.

Relief influences the formation of soil through its

effect on drainage, runoff, and erosion. Soil properties

that are influenced by relief include the thickness of

the solum, the thickness of the A horizon, the color of

the profile, the degree of horizon differentiation, and

the relative wetness of the profile. The thickness of the

solum is one of the properties most obviously related

to relief. Soils on nearly level summits tend to have a

thicker solum than that of soils on steep side slopes.

Relief also affects moisture relationships in soil. It

affects the depth to ground water and the amount of

water that is available for plant growth. Generally, the

water table is closer to the surface in depressions

than on the high parts of the landscape.

Plants and Animals

Living organisms greatly influence the processes of

soil formation and the characteristics of the soils.

Formation of the Soils
146 Soil Survey

Trees, grasses, insects, earthworms, rodents, fungi,

bacteria, and other forms of plant and animal life are

affected by the other soil-forming factors. Animal

activity is largely confined to the surface layer of the

soil. The soil is continually mixed by this activity, which

improves water infiltration. Plant roots create channels

through which air and water move more rapidly,

thereby improving soil structure and increasing the

rate of chemical reactions in the soil.

Microorganisms help to decompose organic matter,

which releases plant nutrients and chemicals into the

soil. These nutrients are either used by the plants or

are leached from the soil. Human activities that

influence plant and animal populations in the soil

affect the rate of soil formation.

The native vegetation in Barbour County consisted

dominantly of loblolly-shortleaf pine and oak-pine

forest types in the uplands and oak-hickory and oakgum-cypress forest types in the bottomlands. The

understory species consisted of numerous species,

including holly, panicums, bluestems, American

beautyberry, Indiangrass, longleaf uniola, and

flowering dogwood. These species represent only a

very limited number of the wide variety of plants

native to the county but can be used as a guide to

plants presently in the county.

The plant communities in the county are also

reflected in the species distribution of fauna. Animals,

in turn, have an impact on the soil properties of a

particular area. For example, ants, worms, moles,

armadillos, and gophers can improve aeration in a

compacted soil. Microbes that thrive in a particular

plant community react to various soil conditions and

consequently influence the soil profile by providing

decayed organic matter and nitrogen to the soil

matrix.

Time

If all other factors of soil formation are equal, the

degree of soil formation is in direct proportion to time.

If soil-forming factors have been active for a long time,

horizon development is stronger than if these same

factors have been active for a relatively short time.

Some parent materials are more easily weathered

than others. The rate of weathering is dependent on

the mineral composition and degree of consolidation

of the parent material. “Time zero” for soil formation is

considered to be that point in time when fresh parent

material is first exposed to the other soil-forming

factors. Commonly, this is a catastrophic occurrence,

such as a flood, a change in topography resulting

from a geologic event, a severe episode of erosion, or

the influence of humans on the landscape.

Geologically, the soils in Barbour County are

relatively young. The youngest soils are the alluvial

soils on active flood plains along streams and rivers.

These soils receive deposits of sediment and are

undergoing a cumulative soil-forming process. In most

cases, these young soils have weakly defined

horizons, mainly because the soil-forming processes

have been active for only a short time. Bibb, Iuka,

Kinston, and Una soils are examples of young soils.

Soils on terraces along the Chattahoochee River and

other major streams are older than soils on flood

plains but are still relatively young. Although they

formed in material deposited by the river, these soils

are no longer reached by frequent overflows because

the river channel is now deeper. Many of these soils

have relatively strong horizon development.

Annemaine, Goldsboro, Lynchburg, and Wahee soils

are examples of soils on stream terraces having

varying age and elevation.

Soils on uplands are generally older than soils on

terraces or flood plains and range in age from young

to very old. The degree of soil development depends

on landscape position and composition of the parent

material. Examples of soils on uplands include

Springhill, Conecuh, Luverne, and Nankin soils.

Processes of Horizon

Differentiation

The processes involved in the formation of soil

horizons are accumulation of organic matter, leaching

of calcium carbonate and bases, reduction and

transfer of iron, and formation and translocation of

silicate clay minerals. These processes can occur in

combination or individually, depending on the

integration of the factors of soil formation.

Most soils have four main horizons. The A horizon

is the surface layer. It is the horizon of maximum

accumulation of organic matter. The E horizon,

usually called the subsurface layer, is the horizon of

maximum loss of soluble or suspended material.

Fuquay soils have an A horizon and an E horizon.

Other soils, such as Mantachie soils, have an A

horizon but do not have an E horizon. Organic matter

has accumulated in the surface layer of all soils in

Barbour County to form an A horizon. The content of

organic matter varies between soils because of

differences in relief, wetness, and natural fertility.

The B horizon, usually called the subsoil, lies

directly below the A or E horizon. It is the horizon of

maximum accumulation of dissolved or suspended

material, such as iron or clay. The B horizon has not

yet developed in very young soils, such as Iuka soils.
Barbour County, Alabama 147

The C horizon is the substratum. It has been

affected very little by soil-forming processes, but it

may be somewhat modified by weathering.

The chemical reduction and transfer of iron, called

gleying, is evident in the wet soils in the county.

Gleying results in gray colors in the subsoil and gray

mottles in other horizons. The gray colors indicate the

reduction and loss of iron and manganese. The

horizons of some soils, such as Dothan and Fuquay

soils, have red or reddish-brown masses of iron

accumulation, which indicate a segregation of iron.

Leaching of carbonates and bases has occurred in

most of the soils in the county. This process

contributes to the development of distinct horizons

and to the naturally low fertility and acid reaction of

some soils. Some soils, such as Hannon soils, formed

in material weathered from soft limestone (chalk) and

maintain a high content of bases and an alkaline

reaction.

In uniform materials, natural drainage generally is

closely associated with slope or relief. It generally

affects the color of the soil. Soils that formed under

good drainage conditions, such as Orangeburg and

Springhill soils, have a subsoil that is uniformly bright

in color. Soils that formed under poor drainage

conditions, such as Bladen and Kinston soils, have

grayish colors. Soils that formed where drainage is

intermediate have a subsoil that is mottled in shades

of gray and brown. Lynchburg and Wahee soils are

examples. The grayish colors persists even if artificial

drainage is provided.

In steeper areas, the surface soil erodes. In low

areas or in depressions, soil materials commonly

accumulate and add to the thickness of the surface

layer. In some areas, the rate of formation of soil

materials and the rate of removal are in equilibrium.

The degree of relief also affects the eluviation of clay

from the E horizon to the Bt horizon.

Barbour County, Alabama 153

management practices. In a good conservation

cropping system, the soil-improving crops and

practices more than offset the effects of the soildepleting crops and practices. Cropping systems

are needed on all tilled soils. Soil-improving

practices in a conservation cropping system

include the use of rotations that contain grasses

and legumes and the return of crop residue to the

soil. Other practices include the use of green

manure crops of grasses and legumes, proper

tillage, adequate fertilization, and weed and pest

control.

Conservation tillage. A tillage system that does not

invert the soil and that leaves a protective amount

of crop residue on the surface throughout the year.

Consistence, soil. Refers to the degree of cohesion

and adhesion of soil material and its resistance to

deformation when ruptured. Consistence includes

resistance of soil material to rupture and to

penetration; plasticity, toughness, and stickiness

of puddled soil material; and the manner in which

the soil material behaves when subject to

compression. Terms describing consistence are

defined in the “Soil Survey Manual.”

Contour stripcropping. Growing crops in strips that

follow the contour. Strips of grass or closegrowing crops are alternated with strips of cleantilled crops or summer fallow.

the living branches and their foliage.

Culmination of the mean annual increment

(CMAI). The average annual increase per acre in

the volume of a stand. Computed by dividing the

total volume of the stand by its age. As the stand

increases in age, the mean annual increment

stand reaches its maximum annual rate of growth

is called the culmination of the mean annual

increment.

bedrock. Very deep soils are more than 60 inches

deep over bedrock; deep soils, 40 to 60 inches;

moderately deep, 20 to 40 inches; shallow, 10 to

20 inches; and very shallow, less than 10 inches.

Diversion (or diversion terrace). A ridge of earth,

generally a terrace, built to protect downslope

areas by diverting runoff from its natural course.

Divided-slope farming. A form of field stripcropping

in which crops are grown in a systematic

arrangement of two strips, or bands, across the

slope to reduce the hazard of water erosion. One

strip is in a close-growing crop that provides

protection from erosion, and the other strip is in a

crop that provides less protection from erosion.

This practice is used where slopes are not long

enough to permit a full stripcropping pattern to be

used.

Drainage class (natural). Refers to the frequency and

duration of wet periods under conditions similar to

those under which the soil formed. Alterations of

the water regime by human activities, either

through drainage or irrigation, are not a

consideration unless they have significantly

changed the morphology of the soil. Seven

classes of natural soil drainage are recognized—

excessively drained, somewhat excessively

drained, well drained, moderately well drained,

somewhat poorly drained, poorly drained, and

very poorly drained. These classes are defined in

the “Soil Survey Manual.”

154 Soil Survey

includes everything from the litter on the surface

to underlying pure humus.

association of species that differ from those on

other ecological sites in kind and/or proportion of

species or in total production.

Eluviation. The movement of material in true solution

or colloidal suspension from one place to another

within the soil. Soil horizons that have lost

the water table at all times.

Episaturation. A type of saturation indicating a

perched water table in a soil in which saturated

layers are underlain by one or more unsaturated

layers within 2 meters of the surface.

Erosion. The wearing away of the land surface by

water, wind, ice, or other geologic agents and by

such processes as gravitational creep.

Erosion (geologic). Erosion caused by geologic

processes acting over long geologic periods

and resulting in the wearing away of mountains

and the building up of such landscape features

as flood plains and coastal plains. Synonym:

natural erosion.

than geologic erosion, mainly as a result of

human or animal activities or of a catastrophe

in nature, such as a fire, that exposes the

surface.

provide plant nutrients, in adequate amounts and

in proper balance, for the growth of specified

plants when light, moisture, temperature, tilth, and

other growth factors are favorable.

Field moisture capacity. The moisture content of a

soil, expressed as a percentage of the ovendry

weight, after the gravitational, or free, water has

drained away; the field moisture content 2 or 3

days after a soaking rain; also called normal field

capacity, normal moisture capacity, or capillary

capacity.

soil material from a road cut. It commonly is on

the downhill side of the road.

Fine textured soil. Sandy clay, silty clay, or clay.

inclined surface at the base of a hillslope. In

profile, footslopes are commonly concave. A

footslope is a transition zone between upslope

sites of erosion and transport (shoulders and

backslopes) and downslope sites of deposition

(toeslopes).

porosity and content of organic matter and low or

moderate in clay but high in silt or very fine sand.
Barbour County, Alabama 155

A fragipan appears cemented and restricts roots.

When dry, it is hard or very hard and has a higher

bulk density than the horizon or horizons above.

When moist, it tends to rupture suddenly under

pressure rather than to deform slowly.

Genesis, soil. The mode of origin of the soil. Refers

especially to the processes or soil-forming factors

responsible for the formation of the solum, or true

soil, from the unconsolidated parent material.

Gilgai. Commonly, a succession of microbasins and

microknolls in nearly level areas or of

microvalleys and microridges parallel with the

slope. Typically, the microrelief of clayey soils that

shrink and swell considerably with changes in

moisture content.

Gleyed soil. Soil that formed under poor drainage,

resulting in the reduction of iron and other

elements in the profile and in gray colors.

Graded stripcropping. Growing crops in strips that

grade toward a protected waterway.

Grassed waterway. A natural or constructed

waterway, typically broad and shallow, seeded to

grass as protection against erosion. Conducts

surface water away from cropland.

Gravel. Rounded or angular fragments of rock as much

as 3 inches (2 millimeters to 7.6 centimeters) in

diameter. An individual piece is a pebble.

percent, by volume, rounded or angular rock

fragments, not prominently flattened, as much as

3 inches (7.6 centimeters) in diameter.

crop grown to be plowed under in an early stage

of maturity or soon after maturity.

Ground water. Water filling all the unblocked pores of

the material below the water table.

Gully. A miniature valley with steep sides cut by

running water and through which water ordinarily

runs only after rainfall. The distinction between a

gully and a rill is one of depth. A gully generally is

an obstacle to farm machinery and is too deep to

be obliterated by ordinary tillage; a rill is of lesser

depth and can be smoothed over by ordinary

tillage.

Hardpan. A hardened or cemented soil horizon, or

layer. The soil material is sandy, loamy, or clayey

and is cemented by iron oxide, silica, calcium

carbonate, or other substance.

Hard to reclaim (in tables). Reclamation is difficult

after the removal of soil for construction and other

uses. Revegetation and erosion control are

extremely difficult.

Head slope. A geomorphic component of hills

consisting of a laterally concave area of a hillside,

especially at the head of a drainageway. The

overland waterflow is converging.

High-residue crops. Such crops as small grain and

corn used for grain. If properly managed, residue

from these crops can be used to control erosion

until the next crop in the rotation is established.

These crops return large amounts of organic

matter to the soil.

Hill. A natural elevation of the land surface, rising as

much as 1,000 feet above surrounding lowlands,

commonly of limited summit area and having a

well defined outline; hillsides generally have

slopes of more than 15 percent. The distinction

between a hill and a mountain is arbitrary and is

dependent on local usage.

Horizon, soil. A layer of soil, approximately parallel to

the surface, having distinct characteristics produced

by soil-forming processes. In the identification of soil

horizons, an uppercase letter represents the major

horizons. Numbers or lowercase letters that follow

represent subdivisions of the major horizons. An

explanation of the subdivisions is given in the “Soil

Survey Manual.” The major horizons of mineral soil

are as follows:

O horizon.—An organic layer of fresh and

decaying plant residue.

A horizon.—The mineral horizon at or near the

surface in which an accumulation of humified

organic matter is mixed with the mineral

material. Also, a plowed surface horizon, most

of which was originally part of a B horizon.

E horizon.—The mineral horizon in which the

main feature is loss of silicate clay, iron,

aluminum, or some combination of these.

B horizon.—The mineral horizon below an A

horizon. The B horizon is in part a layer of

transition from the overlying A to the underlying

C horizon. The B horizon also has distinctive

characteristics, such as (1) accumulation of

clay, sesquioxides, humus, or a combination of

these; (2) prismatic or blocky structure; (3)

redder or browner colors than those in the A

horizon; or (4) a combination of these.

C horizon.—The mineral horizon or layer,

excluding indurated bedrock, that is little

affected by soil-forming processes and does

not have the properties typical of the overlying

soil material. The material of a C horizon may

be either like or unlike that in which the solum

formed. If the material is known to differ from

that in the solum, an Arabic numeral,

commonly a 2, precedes the letter C.

Humus. The well decomposed, more or less stable

part of the organic matter in mineral soils.
156 Soil Survey

Hydrologic soil groups. Refers to soils grouped

according to their runoff potential. The soil

properties that influence this potential are those

that affect the minimum rate of water infiltration on

a bare soil during periods after prolonged wetting

when the soil is not frozen. These properties are

depth to a seasonal high water table, the

infiltration rate and permeability after prolonged

wetting, and depth to a very slowly permeable

layer. The slope and the kind of plant cover are

not considered but are separate factors in

predicting runoff.

Illuviation. The movement of soil material from one

horizon to another in the soil profile. Generally,

material is removed from an upper horizon and

deposited in a lower horizon.

Impervious soil. A soil through which water, air, or

roots penetrate slowly or not at all. No soil is

absolutely impervious to air and water all the time.

Increasers. Species in the climax vegetation that

increase in amount as the more desirable plants

are reduced by close grazing. Increasers

commonly are the shorter plants and the less

palatable to livestock.

Infiltration. The downward entry of water into the

immediate surface of soil or other material, as

contrasted with percolation, which is movement of

water through soil layers or material.

Infiltration capacity. The maximum rate at which

water can infiltrate into a soil under a given set of

conditions.

Infiltration rate. The rate at which water penetrates

the surface of the soil at any given instant, usually

expressed in inches per hour. The rate can be

limited by the infiltration capacity of the soil or the

rate at which water is applied at the surface.

Intake rate. The average rate of water entering the

soil under irrigation. Most soils have a fast initial

rate; the rate decreases with application time.

Therefore, intake rate for design purposes is not a

constant but is a variable depending on the net

irrigation application. The rate of water intake, in

inches per hour, is expressed as follows:

Less than 0.2 ...............................................very low

0.2 to 0.4 .............................................................. low

0.4 to 0.75 ........................................ moderately low

0.75 to 1.25 ................................................ moderate

1.25 to 1.75 ..................................... moderately high

1.75 to 2.5 .......................................................... high

More than 2.5 ............................................ very high

and grow after the climax vegetation has been

reduced by grazing. Generally, plants invade

following disturbance of the surface.

content similar to that of the adjacent matrix. A

type of redoximorphic depletion.

Irrigation. Application of water to soils to assist in

production of crops. Methods of irrigation are:

Drip (or trickle).—Water is applied slowly and

under low pressure to the surface of the soil or

into the soil through such applicators as

emitters, porous tubing, or perforated pipe.

through pipes or nozzles from a pressure

system.

(7.6 centimeters) or more across. Large stones

adversely affect the specified use of the soil.

Leaching. The removal of soluble material from soil

or other material by percolating water.

Linear extensibility. Refers to the change in length of

an unconfined clod as moisture content is

decreased from a moist to a dry state. Linear

extensibility is used to determine the shrink-swell

potential of soils. It is an expression of the volume

change between the water content of the clod at

1

/3- or 1/10-bar tension (33kPa or 10kPa tension)

and oven dryness. Volume change is influenced

by the amount and type of clay minerals in the

soil. The volume change is the percent change for

the whole soil. If it is expressed as a fraction, the

resulting value is COLE, coefficient of linear

extensibility.

passes from a plastic to a liquid state.

Loam. Soil material that is 7 to 27 percent clay
Barbour County, Alabama 157

support loads.

Masses. Concentrations of substances in the soil

matrix that do not have a clearly defined

boundary with the surrounding soil material and

cannot be removed as a discrete unit. Common

of iron oxide or manganese oxide generally are

considered a type of redoximorphic concentration.

and the thickness and arrangement of those

horizons in the soil profile.

Mottling, soil. Irregular spots of different colors that

vary in number and size. Descriptive terms are as

follows: abundance—few, common, and many;

consisting of the projecting end (laterally convex

area) of a hillside. The overland waterflow is

predominantly divergent.

square meter to 10 square meters), depending on

the variability of the soil.

Percolation. The movement of water through the soil.

Permeability. The quality of the soil that enables

water or air to move downward through the profile.

The rate at which a saturated soil transmits water

is accepted as a measure of this quality. In soil

physics, the rate is referred to as “saturated

hydraulic conductivity,” which is defined in the

“Soil Survey Manual.” In line with conventional

usage in the engineering profession and with

traditional usage in published soil surveys, this

rate of flow continues to be expressed as

“permeability.” Terms describing permeability,

measured in inches per hour, are as follows:

weathered mixture of clay with quartz and other

diluents. It commonly appears as red mottles,

usually in platy, polygonal, or reticulate patterns.

Plinthite changes irreversibly to an ironstone

hardpan or to irregular aggregates on repeated

wetting and drying, especially if it is exposed

also to heat from the sun. In a moist soil,

plinthite can be cut with a spade. It is a form of

laterite.

Plowpan. A compacted layer formed in the soil

directly below the plowed layer.

Ponding. Standing water on soils in closed

depressions. Unless the soils are artificially

drained, the water can be removed only by

percolation or evapotranspiration.

Poorly graded. Refers to a coarse grained soil or soil

grained (each grain by itself, as in dune sand) or

massive (the particles adhering without any

regular cleavage, as in many hardpans).

Stubble mulch. Stubble or other crop residue left on

the soil or partly worked into the soil. It protects

the soil from wind erosion and water erosion after

Tilth, soil. The physical condition of the soil as related

to tillage, seedbed preparation, seedling

emergence, and root penetration.

Toeslope. The position that forms the gently inclined

profile are commonly gentle and linear and are

constructional surfaces forming the lower part of

a hillslope continuum that grades to valley or

closed-depression floors.

Topsoil. The upper part of the soil, which is the most

favorable material for plant growth. It is ordinarily

rich in organic matter and is used to topdress

roadbanks, lawns, and land affected by mining.

Trace elements. Chemical elements, for example,

zinc, cobalt, manganese, copper, and iron, in soils

in extremely small amounts. They are essential to

plant growth.

Upland. Land at a higher elevation, in general, than

the alluvial plain or stream terrace; land above the

lowlands along streams.

Variegation. Refers to patterns of contrasting colors

assumed to be inherited from the parent material

rather than to be the result of poor drainage.

Water bars. Smooth, shallow ditches or depressional

areas that are excavated at an angle across a

sloping road. They are used to reduce the

downward velocity of water and divert it off and

away from the road surface. Water bars can easily

be driven over if constructed properly.

Weathering. All physical and chemical changes

produced in rocks or other deposits at or near the

earth’s surface by atmospheric agents. These

changes result in disintegration and

decomposition of the material.

Well graded. Refers to soil material consisting of

coarse grained particles that are well distributed

over a wide range in size or diameter. Such soil

normally can be easily increased in density and

bearing properties by compaction. Contrasts with

poorly graded soil.

Wilting point (or permanent wilting point). The

moisture content of soil, on an ovendry basis, at

which a plant (specifically a sunflower) wilts so

much that it does not recover when placed in a

humid, dark chamber.

Windthrow. The uprooting and tipping over of trees

by the wind.

Table 14a.--Construction Materials (Part 1)

[The information in this table indicates the dominant soil condition but does

 not eliminate the need for onsite investigation. The ratings given for

 the thickest layer are for the thickest layer above and excluding the

 bottom layer. The numbers in the value columns range from 0.00 to 0.99.

 The greater the value, the greater the likelihood that the bottom layer

 or thickest layer of the soil is a source of sand or gravel. See text for

 further explanation of ratings in this table]
