Kolomoki soil series
A representative soil profile of the Kolomoki soil series. (Soil Survey of Clay and Quitman Counties, Georgia; by Ken W. Monroe, Natural Resources Conservation Service
The Kolomoki series consists of deep, well drained soils on stream terraces of the Southern Coastal Plain near larger streams. Permeability is moderate in the solum and moderate to rapid in the underlying material. Slopes are 0 to 5 percent. Near the type location, the mean annual temperature is about 67 degrees F. and the mean annual precipitation is about 53 inches.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine, kaolinitic, thermic Typic Hapludults
The solum thickness is 30 to 55 inches. It is very strongly acid to medium acid throughout except for the surface layer in limed areas. Fine flakes of mica are few to common throughout. The control section has an average clay content of 35 to 50 percent and an average silt content of 15 to 35 percent.
USE AND VEGETATION: Most of the soil is used for crops such as corn, soybeans, peanuts, small grain, and truck crops. The remainder is in pine or mixed pine and hardwood. Common species include loblolly pine, slash pine, longleaf pine, sweetgum, red oak, American holly, and dogwood.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Georgia, and possibly Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. The series is not extensive.
