Faula soil series
Profile of Faula fine sand, 0 to 5 percent slopes. The thin brown bands located at 90 centimeters, are accumulations of finer material, and are known as lamellae. (Soil Survey of Lee County, Texas; by Maurice R. Jurena, USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service)
The Faula series consists of very deep, somewhat excessively drained, rapidly permeable upland soils that formed in sandy sediments of Pleistocene age. These soils are on nearly level to undulating terraces of the Colorado, Brazos, and Navasota Rivers and their tributaries. Slopes range from 0 to 8 percent.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Sandy, siliceous, thermic Lamellic Paleustalfs
Solum thickness is greater than 80 inches. Mean annual soil temperature ranges from 68 to 72 degrees F.
USE AND VEGETATION: Dominantly used for rangeland. Native vegetation is post oak, blackjack oak, hickory, and yaupan with an understory of tall grasses.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Drainage systems of the Colorado, Brazos, and Navasota Rivers and their tributaries within the Blackland and Claypan Prairies of Texas (MLRAs 86 and 87). The series is extensive. These soils were formerly included in the Eufaula series. They are separated based on mean annual soil temperature.
