Babco soil series
Profile of Babco loamy fine sand in an area of Tyden-Babco complex, 0 to 1 percent slopes. (Soil Survey of Tyler County, Texas by Levi Steptoe, Jr., Natural Resources Conservation Services)
The Babco series consists of very deep, somewhat poorly drained, moderately slow permeable soils that formed in sandy and loamy alluvium of Quarternary age. These nearly level soils are on relic bars on terrace risers of river valleys. Slope ranges from 0 to 1 percent. Mean annual temperature is about 20 degrees C (68 degrees F), and mean annual precipitation is about 1321 mm (52 in).
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Coarse-loamy, siliceous, semiactive, thermic Oxyaquic Alorthods
Soil Moisture: An udic soil moisture regime. The soil moisture control section is 20 to 60 cm (8 to 24 in). The soil moisture control section remains moist in some or all parts for more than 275 cumulative days in normal years.
Mean annual soil temperature: 20.6 to 21.7 degrees C (69 to 71 degrees F)
Solum thickness is more than 200 cm (80 in).
USE AND VEGETATION: Used primarily for woodland and wildlife habitat. Native vegetation is longleaf pine and water oak. Loblolly and slash pine are used in planted stands. The understory is composed of various shrubs such as gallberry and wax myrtle. Grasses include bluestems and panicums, and various forbs.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: The Western Gulf Coast Flatwoods of southeast Texas and possibly Louisiana; LRR T; MLRA 152B; small extent. These soils were formerly included with the Besner and Betis series. The classification is based on laboratory data indicating less than 0.10 percent iron by ammonium oxalate and high aluminum saturation.
