These soils occupy similar positions on the landscape. Adrian and Palms soils consist of sapric material above mineral substrata which is at depths of less than 50 inches. Very poorly drained, poorly drained, or somewhat poorly drained mineral soils are commonly along the outer boundary. Very poorly drained. Surface runoff and internal drainage are very slow or ponded.
Permeability is moderate or moderately rapid.
These soils are primarily in woodland, but in some places the vegetation is chiefly reeds, sedges, and cattails. Principal woodland vegetation is tamarack, dogwood, poison sumac, alder, and willow with ground cover of sphagnum moss, marsh grasses, sedges, reeds, and cattails. Ground cover varies with amount of sunlight and microrelief. South-central part of Wisconsin, northern Iowa, southern Minnesota, southern Michigan, and New York. The series is moderately extensive.
