Furlong soil series
The Furlong series consists of moderately deep, somewhat excessively drained soils formed in sandy deposits underlain by limestone on ground moraines and outwash plains. Permeability is rapid. Slopes range from 0 to 6 percent. Mean annual precipitation is about 32 inches, and mean annual temperature is about 43 degrees F.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Sandy, mixed, frigid Typic Haplorthods
(Unless otherwise stated the depths mentioned in the following paragraph are measured from the mineral soil surface.) The depth to limestone bedrock ranges from 20 to 40 inches. Gravel content ranges from 0 to 10 percent and cobble content ranges from 0 to 5 percent throughout. Rock fragments are mainly limestone, but include some igneous and metamorphic fragments.
USE AND VEGETATION: Most of this soil is in second growth woodland. Quaking aspen, red maple, and sugar maple are the dominant tree species.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: The eastern and southeastern part of the Upper Peninsula and the northern part of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan.
