Leaf soil series
The Leaf series consists of very deep, poorly drained, very slowly permeable soils on flood plains, low terraces along streams and on broad flats in the Southern Coastal Plain and Atlantic Coast Flatwoods Major Land Resource Areas. They formed in clayey alluvial and fluvial sediments.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine, mixed, active, thermic Typic Albaquults
Thickness of the solum exceeds 60 inches. Reaction ranges from extremely acid to strongly acid throughout except where the surface has been limed. Content of quartz pebbles range from none to common throughout.
USE AND VEGETATION: Most areas of Leaf soils are in forests of mixed bottomland hardwoods and pines. Some areas are used for growing corn and small grains. The principal vegetation of the forested areas consists of water oak, sweetgum, blackgum, slash pine, loblolly pine, and white oak.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina and South Carolina. The series is of large extent.
