Edneyville soil series
A soil profile of the well drained, very deep loamy Edneyville soils. (Soil Survey of Grayson County, Virginia; by Robert K. Conner, Natural Resources Conservation Service)
Edneyville soils are on ridges, hills, and spurs on low mountains and foothills. Major uses include woodland, pasture, hayland, and occasionally fruit trees, burley tobacco, Christmas trees, and vegetables.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Coarse-loamy, mixed, active, mesic Typic Dystrudepts
Solum Thickness: 51 to 140 cm (20 to 55 inches)
Depth to Bedrock: Greater than 152 cm (60 inches) to weathered bedrock.
Depth Class: Very deep
Rock Fragment content: 0 to 35 percent, by volume, but typically less than 20 percent throughout the profile.
Soil Reaction: Extremely acid to moderately acid in the A horizon, except where limed; very strongly acid or strongly acid in the B and C horizons
Content of Mica: 0 to 20 percent, by volume mica flakes throughout
USE AND VEGETATION:
Dominant Vegetation: Where wooded--white oak, black oak, scarlet oak, chestnut oak, hickory, eastern white pine, Virginia pine, and pitch pine. Yellow poplar and northern red oak occur in the north central mountains of MLRA 130B. Understory includes mountain laurel, flowering dogwood, sourwood, black locust, American chestnut sprouts, greenbrier, Christmas fern, and rhododendron. Where cleared--pasture, hay, and occasionally fruit trees, burley tobacco, Christmas trees, and vegetables.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT:
Distribution: Southern Blue Ridge (MLRA 130-B) of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia and Northern Piedmont (MLRA 148).
Extent: Large--more than 100,000 acres.
