Reaction is very strongly acid to neutral. Where present, the C horizon has hue of 10YR, value of 4 to 6, and chroma of 2 to 6. The 2 chroma matrix is due to the inherent color of the sand and not to aquic conditions. Texture is sand, coarse sand or fine sand. Some pedons are stratified with thin bands of loamy sand.
Reaction is strongly acid to neutral.
Acquango soils are saline in some part of the series control section. Aldo, Osolo and Scotah soils have redoximorphic features between depths of 40 and 72 inches. Bigapple, Caesar, Chute, Pahuk, Penwood, Perks, Spessard, Suncook, Westport, and Windsor soils are less than 36 inches to the base of the solum. Biltmore soils contain mica flakes throughout the control section and are on flood plains and are subject to flooding. Boplain soils have a sandstone paralithic contact between 20 and 40 inches.
