Ivan soil series
A representative soil profile of the Ivan soil series. (Soil Survey of Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, Kansas; United States Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service, and United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service)
The Ivan series consists of very deep, well drained soils that formed in calcareous silty alluvium. Ivan soils are on flood plains in the Bluestem Hills, MLRA 76. Slopes range from 0 to 3 percent. Mean annual precipitation is about 910 millimeters (36 inches)and the mean annual temperature is about 13 degrees C (55 degrees F).
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine-silty, mixed, superactive, mesic Cumulic Hapludolls
Soil moisture: Udic bordering on ustic.
Mollic epipedon thickness: greater than 61 centimeters (24 inches)
Depth to calcium carbonate: 0 to 25 centimeters (0 to 10 inches)
Mean annual soil temperature: 13 to 14 degrees C (55 to 58 degrees F)
Particle-size control section (weighted average):
Clay content: 18 to 30 percent
Sand content: 0 to 10 percent
Rock fragments: 0 to 5 percent
USE AND VEGETATION: Most areas are cultivated.
The main principal crops are corn and soybeans.
Native vegetation is walnut, sycamore, and bur oak with an under story of tall grasses.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: East-central Kansas along streams flowing eastward from the Bluestem Hills; Land Resource Region H, Central Great Plains Winter Wheat and Range Region and M, Central Feed Grains and Livestock Region; MLRAs 76, 106, and 112; The series is extensive.
