Reaction is very strongly acid to neutral, depending on liming history. The E horizon, where present, has hue of 10YR, value of 5 or 6, and chroma of 3 or 4. The Bw horizon and, where present, BC horizon have hue of 10YR or 7.5YR, value of 4 or 5, and chroma of 3 to 6. Texture is typically loamy sand, loamy fine sand, sand or fine sand, and ranges to coarse sand in the lower part. Structure is very weak or weak, fine to coarse, subangular blocky or granular, or it is single grain.
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.
