A1 | 0-70 | Black (10YR2/1 moist, 10YR4/1 dry); loamy fine sand; massive firm consistence; pH 4.3; gradual and wavy boundary to: | ||
B21g | 70 + | Very dark greyish brown (10YR3/2 moist and 10YR5/2 dry), becoming mottled with depth (90 cm+); loamy fine sand; massive firm consistence; pH 4.7. | ||
| Management considerations | ||||
| Acidic sandy profile, low fertility, poor structure and the need for subsurface drainage are all major limitations in this element. Gleyed nature of the subsoil (grey and bleached) indicates excessive site wetness | ||||
