Cowarts soil and landscape
Soil profile: The Cowarts series consists of very deep, well drained soils that formed in loamy sediments.
casoilresource.lawr.ucdavis.edu/sde/?series=cowarts#osd
Solum thickness ranges from 20 to 40 inches. Reaction is very strongly acid or strongly acid throughout except where lime has been added. Percent by volume of iron concretions and/or quartz gravel, 2 mm to 7 cm in diameter, ranges from 0 to 30 percent in the A and E horizons; from 0 to 10 percent in the B horizon; and from 0 to 15 percent in the C horizon. Percent by volume of nodular plinthite ranges from 0 to 4 percent, by volume. Silt content is less than 20 percent.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine-loamy, kaolinitic, thermic Typic Kanhapludults
Landscape: Cowarts soils are on side slopes and ridge tops on uplands of the Carolina and Georgia Sand Hills and Southern Coastal Plain. Slopes range from 1 to 25 percent. They formed in thick beds of stratified, loamy marine sediments. Most areas of Cowarts soils are used for woodland. Many areas have been cleared and are used for the production of cotton, corn, peanuts, vegetable crops and pasture. Common trees include longleaf pine, loblolly pine, shortleaf pine, slash pine, southern red oak, sweetgum, hickory and flowering dogwood.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Coastal Plain and Sand Hills of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
