Mean annual temperature is about 50 degrees F., and mean annual precipitation is 36 inches. The depth to the base of the argillic horizon and to free carbonates is 40 to 60 inches. Clay content is 22 to 35 percent in the particle size control section. The series control section is 0 to 60 inches. The A horizon has hue of 10YR, value of 4 or 5, and chroma of 2 or 3.
Reaction is strongly acid to neutral, depending on liming history.
Gravel content ranges from none to 3 percent. Some pedons have an E horizon. Sand content averages 10 to 35 percent. Gravel content ranges from 0 to 3 percent. Reaction is very strongly acid to slightly acid.
