Woolper soil series
A soil profile of Woolper soil. (Kentucky Soil Atlas; by Anastasios D. Karathanasis, University of Kentucky)
The Woolper series consists of deep, well-drained soils on footslopes, fans, and terraces. They formed in colluvium or alluvium from soils of limestone and shale origin. Permeability is moderately slow to slow. Slopes range from 0 to 50 percent. The mean annual precipitation is 45 inches, and the mean annual temperature is 55 degrees F.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine, mixed, active, mesic Typic Argiudolls
The solum thickness ranges from 40 to 60 inches or more, and depth to bedrock ranges from about 60 inches to 100 inches or more. Reaction ranges from slightly acid to mildly alkaline. The weighted average of rock fragments of limestone, siltstone, sandstone, or shale range from 0 to 15 percent but individual B horizons range to 35 percent. Some pedons have a few or common black or dark brown concretions or soft concretionary-like material in some or all horizons. The mollic epipedon ranges from 10 to about 24 inches.
USE AND VEGETATION: Most areas are used for hay, pasture, corn, or tobacco. Native forests have oaks, hickory, yellow poplar, maple, ash, hackberry, and black walnut as the dominant species.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Kentucky, Ohio, and Tennessee. Extent is moderate.
