Inez soil series
The Inez series consists of very deep, moderately well drained soils that formed in loamy alluvium of late Pleistocene age. These nearly level soils are on stream terraces on flat coastal plains. Slopes are typically less than 1 percent but range from 0 to 2 percent. Mean annual precipitation is about 991 mm (39 in) and the mean annual air temperature is about 22 degrees C (72 degrees F).
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine, smectitic, hyperthermic Oxyaquic Vertic Hapludalfs
Soil Moisture: Udic soil moisture regime. The soil moisture control section is dry in some or all parts for less than 90 days in normal years.
Mean annual soil temperature: 22.2 to 22.8 degrees C (72 to 73 degrees F)
Depth to argillic horizon: 28 to 69 cm (11 to 1827 in)
Depth to secondary carbonates: 46 to 135 cm (18 to 53 in)
Particle-size control section (weighted average)
Clay content: 35 to 55 percent
USE AND VEGETATION: Used mainly for rangeland and a few areas are used for growing rice. Native vegetation for these savannah soils includes grasses such as little bluestem, indiangrass, Florida paspalum, brownseed paspalum, and woody vegetation such as post oak, live oak, blackjack oak, yaupon, American beautyberry, and greenbriar.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT:
General area: Upper to coastal prairie of Texas
Land Resource Region: T (Atlantic and Gulf Coast Lowland Forest and Crop Region)
Major Land Resource Area: 150A (Gulf Coast Prairies)
Extent: moderate
