Brownstown soil series
A soil profile of a moderately deep Brownstown silt loam. (Soil Survey of Clark County, Indiana; by Byron G. Nagel and Dena L. Marshall, Natural Resources Conservation Service)
The Brownstown series consists of moderately deep, well drained soils that formed in residuum from siltstone on hills and knobs. Slopes range from 15 to 75 percent. Mean annual precipitation is about 109 cm (43 inches), and mean annual temperature is about 12 degrees C (54 degrees F).
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Loamy-skeletal, mixed, active, mesic Typic Dystrudepts
Depth to the base of the cambic horizon: 30 to 61 cm (12 to 24 inches)
Depth to a lithic contact: 51 to 102 cm (20 to 40 inches)
Rock fragments: dominantly channers, but include flagstones, and are strongly or very strongly cemented Rock fragments in the particle-size control section average: 35 to 65 percent
Particle-size control section: less than 15 percent fine and coarser sand (less than 5 percent coarse and very coarse sand) in the fine-earth fraction
USE AND VEGETATION: Almost all areas are in mixed oak-hickory forest, the native vegetation.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: This series is of moderate extent in MLRA 120C. Brownstown soils are in south-eastern and south-central Indiana. Brownstown soils were previously correlated as the Berks series in MLRA 120C in Indiana.
