Surface Soil Type: Sandy clay loam
Family name: Fine loamy, mixed (ca.), isohyperthermic Aeric Epiaquent
Fine loamy textured soil with moderate amount of clay 18 35 with isohyperthermic temperature regime 22C It is an inceptisol ept ie it is in the incipient development towards mature soil but has not yet fully developed their diagnostic horizons This is a representative of the great group Epiaquepts It is saturated with water repeatedly aqu but not typically wet ie it is better aerated usually because either groundwater is deep or the period of saturation is shorter aeric
