GL68
| Site: GL68 | Land Unit: Byaduk Basalts |
| Aust. Soil Class.: Ferric, ?, Brown DERMOSOL (confidence level 4) | |
 | General Land Unit Description: This land unit is a complex unit of steep slopes leading to drainage lines and gently undulating plains leading to the slopes, south east of Branxholme. The soils on the slopes leading to the drainage lines tend to be shallower than those on the plains. The soils on the plains commonly have a sandy topsoil with a bleached A2 horizon over a clay subsoil. A co-dominant soil type is a soil type lacking the sandy topsoil and tends to have a gradual increase in clay (Dermosol) similar to this site. These soils are intermixed with Sodosols. |
Site Description:
| Geology: Quaternary basalt | Landform pattern: Undulating rises and gently undulating plains |
| Position in landscape: Upper slope | Internal drainage: Moderately well drained |
Key profile features:
- Ferromanganiferious nodules
- Mottled subsoil
- Kaolinite at depth
