Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Orangeburg Sandy Loam Upon the more elevated portions of the type the surface soil is frequently gray, with accumulations of medium sand. Upon the slopes the type is apt to be more loamy in its surface characteristics, while at the foot of the slope, or in certain slight hollows within the area of the type, there is usually some accumulation of organic matter, with the surface soil a darker brown and more loamy in character. These variations are due almost entirely to the effect of soil erosion and deposition over the cultivated fields. The Orangeburg sandy loam is easily distinguished from members of the Norfolk series through the fact that the subsoil is always red. It is distinguished from the sandy loam of the Greenville series from the fact that the latter series is red in the entire section from the surface down. It is easily distinguished from the soils of the Susquehanna series in that their subsoils are always stiff, plastic clnys. The Orangeburg sandy loam is very closely related to the Orangeburg fine sandy loam in all respects except the texture of the surface soil. The subsoils are almost identical, but the surface soil of the Orangeburg sandy loam is usually coarser grained and more porous than that of the fine sandy loam. This characteristic gives rise to certain distinctions in the crop adaptation and methods of treatment to be practiced upon the two types. Surface Features And Drainage. In the majority of areas where the Orangeburg sandy loam is encountered its surface is rolling to hilly, with many steep slopes. In certain areas of considerable agricultural importance the declivities within the area of the type are less, and the surface must be characterized as rolling to gently sloping. These latter areas are the ones which constitute the most valuable agricultural lands. Practically none of the areas where the type is strongly developed lies at an altitude of less than 100 feet above tide level. All of the more inland areas in central Alabama, in northern Louisiana, and in northeastern Texas lie at altitudes from 150 to 350 feet above tide level, with some exceptional areas near the inland border of the Coastal Plain which reach altitudes of nearly 500 feet. Thus there is considerable difference both in the elevation and the topography of the different localities where the Orangeburg sandy loam is typically developed. These differences have a direct effect upon the drainage and erosion characteristics of the soil type, and consequently upon the crop adaptations and the extent to which it may be cultivated. Throughout its entire area the Orangeburg sandy loam is well drained. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
