Edneytown soil series
The Edneytown series consists of very deep, well drained, moderately permeable soils. (Soil Survey of Grayson County, Virginia; by Robert K. Conner, Natural Resources Conservation Service)
These soils are on ridges and side slopes of the Blue Ridge (MLRA 130). These soils were formerly mapped as Edneyville. Edneyville is presently described without an argillic horizon and normally occurs at higher elevations. Edneytown soils formed in residuum that is affected by soil creep in the upper part, and weathered from felsic to mafic, igneous and high-grade metamorphic rocks. Slopes range from 2 to 95 percent.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine-loamy, mixed, active, mesic Typic Hapludults
Thickness of the argillic horizon is 10 to 35 inches. Solum thickness is 20 to more than 40 inches. Depth to paralithic contact is more than 60 inches. The A and E horizons are extremely acid to moderately acid except where surface layers have been limed, and the B and C horizons are very strongly acid or strongly acid. Content of flakes of mica is few or common throughout. Content of coarse fragments ranges from 0 to 35 percent throughout.
USE AND VEGETATION: Forested to oak, hickory, and pine. Understory of native grasses, wild grape, rhododendron, mountain laurel, and dogwood.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: The Blue Ridge (MLRA 130) of South Carolina, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. The series is of moderate extent.
