Surface Soil Type: Clay/Clay loam
Family name: Very fine, mixed, isohyperthermic, Aeric Calciaquert
A very fine textured soil with high clay content 60 composed of mixed minerals This soil is developed from recent alluvial deposits washed down from the nearby hills and uplands It is saturated with water repeatedly aqu but is well aerated because either groundwater is deep or the period of saturation is shorter Aeric This soil has high calcium saturation in its subsoil horizon Calci It has a mean annual soil temperature higher than 22C isohyperthermic
