Wake soil series
Depth Class: Shallow
Agricultural Drainage Class: Excessively drained
Permeability: Rapid
Surface Runoff: Moderate to rapid
Parent Material: Residuum weathered from a felsic igneous or high-grade metamorphic rocks
Shrink-Swell Potential: Low
Slope: 0 to 45 percent
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Mixed, thermic Lithic Udipsamments
USE AND VEGETATION:
Major uses: Mixed hardwood forest of post oak, blackjack oak, northern red oak, and hickory along with shortleaf pine, Virginia pine and loblolly pine. Small areas are used for corn, small grain, orchards, and pasture.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT:
Distribution: Thermic region of Piedmont in North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina, and possibly Virginia
Extent: Small
The April 1994 revision changed the classification from thermic, coated Lithic Quartzipsamments to mixed, thermic Lithic Udipsamments. Laboratory data documents more than 10 percent weatherable minerals in the control section of these soils in North Carolina. North Carolina is the only state that the Wake series has been correlated in. The November 2002 revision moved the type location to another site in Wake County. It also removed the coarse fragment requirement of 15 to 35 percent throughout.
