Series A
Soils included in this series have the overall profile characteristics of those included in the Wycheproof series. However, the profiles of Series A differ mainly in their reaction trend (neutral) and contain large amounts of stones throughout.
In the current survey, this series includes one soil type ‘Type A’.
Type A
Analytical Data for Selected Depths Down the Profile:
Depth | pH | Total Soluble Salts | Sodium Chloride | Moisture Retention @ 15-Bar | Moisture Retention @ 1/3-Bar |
- | - | % | % | % | % |
A | 6.9 | 0.011 | * | 4.2 | 7.9 |
B | 7.5 | 0.018 | * | 12.3 | 21.9 |
* Sodium chloride contents were not measured and are expected to be very low (based on TSS < 0.05%).
Occurrence:
Type A mainly occurs on sandy rises and in association with the skeletal soils commonly found in the hilly terrain.
