Lucedale soil series

A representative soil profile of the Lucedale soil series. (Soil Survey of Clarke County, Alabama; by Sanderson Page, Natural Resources Conservation Service)

 

The Lucedale series consists of deep, well drained, moderately permeable soils that formed in loamy sediments. These are nearly

level to strongly sloping soils in uplands of the Southern Coastal Plain Major Land Resource Area. Slopes are from 0 to 15 percent.

 

TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine-loamy, siliceous, subactive, thermic Rhodic Paleudults

 

Thickness of the solum ranges from 60 inches to more than 80 inches.

 

USE AND VEGETATION: Most areas of Lucedale soils are cropped to cotton, soybeans, corn, and small grains. Some areas are used for growing pasture and hay. Principal vegetation of wooded areas is mixed hardwoods and longleaf, slash, and loblolly pines.

 

DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi. The Lucedale series is of moderate extent.
