Evadale soil series
Soil profile of Evadale silt loam, 0 to 1 percent slopes. The light gray material is loess that was deposited on the red clayey material. (Soil Survey of Tyler County, Texas; by Levi Steptoe, Jr., Natural Resources Conservation Services)
The Evadale series consists of very deep, poorly drained soils. These nearly level soils formed in loamy fluviomarine deposits of the Beaumont Formation of Late Pleistocene age. Slope ranges from 0 to 1 percent but mainly less than 1 percent. Mean annual temperature is about 19.5 degrees C (67 degrees F), and mean annual precipitation is about 1422 mm (56 in).
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine-silty, siliceous, active, thermic Typic Glossaqualfs
Soil Moisture: An aquic soil moisture regime.
Mean annual soil temperature: 20.6 to 21.7 degrees C (69 to 71 degrees F)
Depth to argillic horizon: 20 to 58 cm (8 to 23 in)
Particle-size control section (weighted average)
Clay content: 30 to 35 percent
CEC/clay ratio: 0.40 to 0.60
USE AND VEGETATION: These soils are used mainly for timber and native pasture. Most forested areas are a mix of pine and hardwoods, mainly loblolly pine, water oak, and sweetgum. The understory vegetation is mainly pinehill bluestem, longleaf uniola, spreading panicum, brownseed paspalum, splitbeard bluestem, greenbrier, Carolina jessamine, and southern bayberry. A few areas have been cleared and used for improved pastures of bahiagrass and bermudagrass.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Southeast Texas mainly east of the Trinity River and possibly southwestern Louisiana; LRR T; Western Gulf Coast Flatwoods (MLRA 152B); large extent.
The Evadale series was formerly included with the Wrightsville series. A former ponded phase of the Evadale series is now included with the Camptown series. The classification was changed from a fine family to fine-silty family during the correlation of the MLRA 152B update. Data from the Texas A&M University Soil Characterization laboratory at the type location and data from other pedons show the particle-size control section to be dominantly fine-silty.
