Goldsboro soil and landscape
Soil profile: A representative soil profile of the Goldsboro series. Goldsboro soils are moderately well drained with a seasonal high water table within a depth of 45 to 75 centimeters commonly during December through April. (Soil Survey of Webster County, Georgia; by Scott Moore, Natural Resources Conservation Service)
Landscape: Goldsboro soils are moderately suited to corn, soybeans, peanuts, and wheat and well suited to cotton lint and tobacco. Management concerns--the seasonal high water table restricts equipment operation, decreases the viability
of crops, and interferes with the planting and harvesting of crops.
Depth Class: Very deep
Drainage Class (Agricultural): Moderately well drained
Flooding Frequency and Duration: None
Ponding Frequency and Duration: None
Internal Free Water Occurrence: Moderately deep, transitory
Index Surface Runoff: Negligible to medium
Permeability: Moderate
Landscape: Lower to upper coastal plain
Landform: Marine terraces, uplands
Hillslope Profile Position: Summit, shoulder
Geomorphic Component: Interfluve, talf
Parent Material: Marine deposits, fluviomarine deposits
Slope: 0 to 10 percent
Elevation (type location): Unknown
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine-loamy, siliceous, subactive, thermic Aquic Paleudults
Depth to top of the Argillic horizon: 5 to 19 inches
Depth to the base of the Argillic horizon: 60 to more than 80 inches
Depth to Bedrock: Greater than 80 inches
Depth to Seasonal High Water Table: 18 to 30 inches, December to April
Rock Fragment Content: 0 to 50 percent, by volume throughout, mostly quartz pebbles
Soil Reaction: Extremely acid to strongly acid, except where limed
Other soil features: Silt content in the particle-size control section is less than 30 percent.
USE AND VEGETATION:
Major Uses: Cropland
Dominant Vegetation: Where cultivated--corn, peanuts, tobacco, soybeans, small grain, cotton, and pasture. Where wooded--loblolly pine, longleaf pine, slash pine, sweetgum, southern red oak, white oak, water oak, and red maple, yellow poplar. Understory plants include American holly, blueberry, flowering dogwood, greenbrier, persimmon, redbay, southern bayberry (waxmyrtle), inkberry (bitter gallberry), honeysuckle, poison ivy, and summersweet clethra.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT:
Distribution: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia
Extent: Large
