Kleinpeter soil series
Soil profile of Kleinpeter silt, 1 to 5 percent slopes. (Soil Survey of St. Mary Parish, Louisiana; by Donald R. McDaniel and Gerald J. Trahan)
KLEINPETER SERIES
The Kleinpeter series consists of very deep, moderately well drained, moderately permeable soils that formed in Peorian age loess deposits 4 to 10 feet thick over Pleistocene age terrace deposits. They are on salt domes. Slopes range from 0 to 30 percent.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine-silty, mixed, active, hyperthermic Oxyaquic Glossudalfs
Solum thickness is more than 80 inches. Thickness of the loess over Pleistocene age terrace deposits (2Bt horizon) ranges from 4 to 10 feet. Reaction ranges from strongly acid through slightly acid in the A horizon, and from very strongly acid through moderately acid in the E, Bt and Bt/E horizons.
USE AND VEGETATION: Mostly used for woodland. Some small areas are in cropland or gardens.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Southern Mississippi River Valley silty uplands (MLRA 134) in Louisiana. The series is of small extent. The series was proposed in 1996, East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana. The series was retypified and established in St. Mary Parish by an Amendment to the Correlation in 2002 based on data from the hyperthermic study. It was reclassified from a Glossic Hapludalf to an Oxyaquic Glossudalf based on closer observations in a pit at the current type location. Kleinpeter soils were formerly included in the Memphis and Loring series.
