Sapelo soil series
A representative soil profile of Sapelo fine sand, in an area of Mascotte-Sapelo complex. This profile is unique with intermittent pockets of clean white sand surrounded by spodic material. (Soil Survey of Suwannee County, Florida; by Robert L. Weatherspoon, Natural Resources Conservation Service)
Depth Class: very deep
Drainage Class (Agricultural): somewhat poorly and poorly drained
Internal Free Water Occurrence: very shallow, persistent
Index Surface Runoff: negligible to low
Permeability: moderate
Landscape: Coastal Plain
Landform: flats
Hillslope Profile Position:
Geomorphic Component: talf and dips
Parent Material: marine sediments
Slope: 0 to 2 percent
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Sandy, siliceous, thermic Ultic Alaquods
Depth to the top of the Spodic: 10 to 30 inches
Depth to the top of the Argillic: 40 to 70 inches
Depth to Bedrock: Greater than 60 inches
Depth to Seasonal High Water Table: 0 to 18 inches, November to April
Soil Reaction: extremely acid to strongly acid, except where limed
Other Features: silt plus clay in the 10 to 40 inch PSCS ranges from 5 to 15 percent
USE AND VEGETATION:
Major Uses: mostly wooded
Dominant Vegetation: Where wooded-- Natural vegetation consists of longleaf pine, loblolly pine, pond pine, blackgum, and water oak. Understory plants are gallberry, sawtooth palmetto, and dwarf huckleberry.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT:
Distribution: Lower Coastal Plain of Georgia, Florida and possibly North Carolina and South Carolina.
Extent: moderate
