Boykin soil series
A soil profile of a Boykin soil. Boykin soils are well drained and are on summits and side slopes in the uplands. They have an argillic horizon of reddish sandy loam and sandy clay loam underlying a thick epipedon of loamy sand. (Soil Survey of Bibb County, Alabama; by Lawrence E. McGhee, Natural Resources Conservation Service)
The Boykin series consists of deep, well drained, moderately permeable soils that formed in sandy and loamy coastal plain sediments of Pleistocene age. These soils are on gently sloping to moderately steep uplands. Slopes range from 1 to 20 percent.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Loamy, siliceous, active, thermic Arenic Paleudults
Solum thickness is greater than 60 inches. Clay content in the upper 20 inches of the argillic horizon ranges from 18 to 30 percent. Base saturation at 50 inches below the top of the Bt ranges from 5 to 20 percent. CEC ranges from about 10 to 20 me/100 gm.
USE AND VEGETATION: These soils are used mainly for timber and pasture. Forest vegetation includes loblolly, shortleaf, slash, and longleaf pines, red oak, and sweetgum trees with an understory of grasses and legumes. Pastures are mainly bermuda grass and bahiagrass.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: West Coastal Plains of southeastern Texas and western Louisiana. The series is of moderate extent.
