Suggsville soil series
A representative soil profile of a Suggsville soil in an area of Prim-Suggsville-Watsonia complex, 2 to 10 percent slopes. (Soil Survey of Wayne County, Mississippi; by Ralph Thornton, Natural Resources Conservation Service).
The Suggsville series consists of deep, well drained, very slowly permeable soils that formed in clayey sediments overlying limestone and chalk. They are on convex ridges and side slopes on uplands of the Alabama and Mississippi Blackland Prairie and the Southern Coastal Plain Major Land Resource Areas. Near the type location, the average annual air temperature is about 64 degrees F. and the average annual precipitation is about 59 inches. Slope ranges from 1 to 35 percent.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Very-fine, smectitic, thermic Chromic Dystruderts
Depth to a paralithic contact ranges from 40 to 60 inches. Depth to horizons with secondary carbonates ranges from 30 to 50 inches. Content of rounded quartzite pebbles ranges from 0 to 10 percent throughout the profile.
USE AND VEGETATION: Principal use is woodland and wildlife habitat. Some areas are in pasture or hayland. Common trees in wooded areas include longleaf pine, loblolly pine, shortleaf pine, spruce pine, southern red oak, post oak, yellow poplar, yellow chestnut oak, sweetgum, and hickory.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: MLRAs 135A and 133A in southwest Alabama and in southeast Mississippi. It is of small extent. This soil has been included with the Oktibbeha series.
