Talbott soil series

A representative soil profile of the Talbott soil series. (Soil Survey of Cannon County, Tennessee; by By Jerry L. Prater, Natural Resources Conservation Service)

 

The Talbott series consists of moderately deep, well drained soils that formed in clayey residuum weathered from limestone. These soils have moderately slow permeability. The slope ranges from 0 to 70 percent.

 

TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine, mixed, semiactive, thermic Typic Hapludalfs

 

Thickness of solum and depth to bedrock ranges from 20 to 40 inches. Rock fragments in this soil are normally less than 5 percent, but range from 0 to 10 percent in all horizons. It ranges from slightly acid to strongly acid except the horizons near bedrock ranges to mildly alkaline.

 

USE AND VEGETATION: Originally hardwoods, chiefly oak, hickory, elm, maple, and redcedar. Most of the areas are cleared. About 70 percent of the cleared areas are in pasture and hay. Crops include corn, small grain, tobacco, and soybeans. Many areas are idle.

 

DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: The Appalachian Ridge and Valley, Highland Rim and Nashville Basin in Tennessee, northern Georgia, and Alabama, and possibly Kentucky. The series is of large extent.
