Lindaas soil series
A representative soil profile of the Lindaas soil series. (Soil Survey of Polk County, Minnesota; by Charles T. Saari and Rodney B. Heschke, Natural Resources Conservation Service)
The Lindaas series consists of very deep, poorly drained, slowly permeable soils that formed in glacial lake sediments or local alluvium from till. These soils are in shallow depressions and on broad flats on glacial lake plains, till plains and moraines. They have slopes of 0 to 2 percent. Mean annual air temperature is 40 degrees F, and mean annual precipitation is 19 inches.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine, smectitic, frigid Typic Argiaquolls
The depth to carbonates ranges from 18 to 35 inches. The mollic epipedon is more than 16 inches thick and may include part or all of the Bt horizon. LE is less than 6 cm in the upper meter.
USE AND VEGETATION: Cropped to small grains, row crops and legumes. The original vegetation was tall prairie grasses.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Eastern North Dakota and western Minnesota. The series is extensive.
