Zenas soil series

The Zenas series consists of deep, well drained soils on hills and sinkholes. They formed in 56 to 102 cm (22 to 40 inches) of loess and the underlying residuum from limestone. Slopes range from 2 to 12 percent. Mean annual precipitation is about 1067 mm (42 inches) and mean annual temperature is about 13 degrees C (55 degrees F).

 

TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine-silty, mixed, active, mesic Typic Hapludalfs

 

Depth to the base of the argillic horizon: 102 to 152 cm (40 to 60 inches)

Depth to a lithic contact: 102 to 152 cm (40 to 60 inches)

Thickness of the loess: 56 to 102 cm (22 to 40 inches)

 

USE AND VEGETATION: Nearly all of the soil is used for growing crops and pasture. The native vegetation is mixed hardwood forest.
