Wehadkee soil and landscape
Soil profile: A representative soil profile of the Wehadkee series. Wehadkee soils are poorly drained and very poorly drained. Soft masses of iron accumulation are in shades of red, yellow, and brown are common thoughout. Runoff is very slow and internal drainage is very slow. Permeability is moderate. Most areas are frequently flooded and receive fresh sediment annually.
Landscape: Typical landscape for Wehadkee loam, 0 to 1 percent slopes, frequently flooded, ponded. This wetland soil supports unique vegetation, provides valuable habitat for wildlife, and filters ground water. (Soil Survey of Monroe County, Georgia; by Dee C. Pederson and Sherry E. Carlson, Natural Resources Conservation Service)
The Wehadkee series consists of very deep soils on flood plains along streams that drain from the mountains and piedmont. They are formed in loamy sediments. Slopes range from 0 to 2 percent.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine-loamy, mixed, active, nonacid, thermic Fluvaquentic Endoaquepts
Solum thickness ranges from about 20 to more than 60 inches. The content of mica flakes ranges from few to many. The soil ranges from very strongly acid through neutral, but some part of the 10 to 40 inch control section is moderately acid through neutral. Content of rock fragments ranges from 0 to 5 percent by volume in the A and B horizons, and from 0 to 20 percent by volume in the C horizons. Fragments are dominantly pebbles in size.
USE AND VEGETATION: Most of the area is in forest; chiefly water tolerant hardwoods such as sweetgum, blackgum, water oak, willow, oak, poplar, hickories, beech, and elm. Drained areas are used for pasture, corn, and hay.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. The soil is of moderate extent.
