Aquent soil areas have seasonal high water tables and are often sparsely vegetated. Aquent soil areas are quite variable in composition. Texture is usually dependant on the parent material and the type of fill material used if present. These areas may contain buried construction debris, stumps and in some instances buried soils. Included in this soil map unit are areas of Udorthents and Udipsamments on higher elevations and Wareham, Mattapoisett, Pipestone, and Ridgebury soils in undisturbed areas.
Some areas are well suited for cranberry and blueberry production.
This soil is poorly suited for woodland. Due to the disturbed nature of this soil areas are usually sparsely vegetated. Management concerns are the seasonal high water table, high seedling mortality, and the hazard of windthrow. The seasonal high water table is a limitation if this soil is used as a site for dwellings with or without basements or as a site for on-site sewage disposal.
