Oakley soil series
A representative soil profile of the profile of the Oakley series. The mollic epipedon extends to a depth of about 20 centimeters. A calcic horizon is below a depth of about 30 centimeters. (Soil Survey of Jackson County, Oklahoma; by Richard Gelnar, Clay Salisbury, and Scott Keenan, Natural Resources Conservation Service)
The Oakley series consists of very deep, well drained, moderately or moderately slowly permeable soils that formed in calcareous, loamy alluvium over Permian age redbed sediments. These soils occur on nearly level to moderately sloping plain terraces in the Central Rolling Red Plains (MLRA 78). Slope ranges from 0 to 8 percent.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine-loamy, mixed, active, thermic Typic Calciustolls
Thickness of the solum ranges from 60 to more than 80 inches. Depth to a lithologic discontinuity of weathered Permian age redbed sediments ranges from 60 to more than 80 inches. Some pedons contain a few brown or gray redoximorphic depletions below 40 inches. Most pedons have a perched water table below 48 inches during the winter and spring of years with above normal rainfall. These soils are calcareous throughout.
USE AND VEGETATION: Mainly used for cropland. Wheat and sorghum are the principal crops. Some areas have been seeded to Old World bluestem or native grass pasture. Native vegetation is a mixed grass prairie, consisting mainly of little bluestem, grama species, and buffalograss.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Central Rolling Red Plains LRR H (MLRA 78B & 78C) of southwestern Oklahoma and northwest parts of Texas. The series is of small extent.
