Moquah soil series
(Soil Survey of Ontonagon County, Michigan; by J. Scott Eversoll and Lawrence M. Carey, Natural Resources Conservation Service)
The Moquah series consists of moderately well drained soils formed in loamy alluvium on flood plains. These soils have moderate or moderately slow permeability. Slopes range from 0 to 3 percent. Mean annual precipitation is about 31 inches, and mean annual temperature is about 43 degrees F.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Coarse-loamy, mixed, superactive, nonacid, frigid Typic Udifluvents
The soil typically is very strongly acid to mildly alkaline. Color, arrangement, and thickness of horizons vary considerably because of the nature of the parent materials.
USE AND VEGETATION: Most areas are forested with mixed hardwoods and a few conifers. Naturally unforested areas have a cover of native grasses and weeds. Some of these areas are pastured.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Northern Wisconsin and the upper peninsula of Michigan. These soils are of small extent.
