Gritney soil series
A representative soil profile of the Gritney soil series. (Soil Survey of Screven County, Georgia; by Gary C. Hankins, Jr., Natural Resources Conservation Service)
The Gritney series consists of very deep, moderately well drained soils that formed in fine-textured sediments on Coastal Plain uplands. Permeability is slow. Slopes range from 0 to 15 percent. Average annual precipitation is about 50 inches and mean annual temperature is about 65 degrees F. near the type location.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine, mixed, semiactive, thermic Aquic Hapludults
Solum thickness ranges from 35 to 60 inches or more. The soil ranges from extremely acid through strongly acid unless limed. Quartz and ironstone pebbles range from 0 to 10 percent throughout the soil. COLE is estimated to be less than 0.09 throughout the soil. Silt content of the control section is less than 30 percent.
USE AND VEGETATION: Gritney soils are used for crops, pasture and forest land. Principal crops grown are corn, soybeans, small grain, cotton, peanuts and hay and pasture. Wooded areas are mixed hardwood and pine. Tree species include white oak, post oak, southern red oak, red maple, sweetgum, hickory, elm, ash, American sycamore, beech, and loblolly pine. Common understory plants are American holly, dogwood, sassafras, sourwood, and waxmyrtle. Threeawn is a common native grass.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: North Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Virginia, and possibly South Carolina.
Responsibility for Gritney series was transferred to North Carolina in l986. The classification of this series was changed with the 12/86 revision - from clayey, mixed, thermic Typic Hapludults to clayey, mixed, thermic Aquic Hapludults. This is based on selected water table studies.
