Wilkes soil series
A representative soil profile of the Wilkes series. (Soil Survey of Jasper County, Georgia; by James R. Latham and Grover J. Thomas, Natural Resources Conservation Service)
Depth class: Shallow
Agricultural Drainage Class: Well drained
Permeability: Moderately slow to slow
Index Surface Runoff: High to very high
Parent Material: Residuum weathered from intermediate and mafic crystalline rocks
Shrink-swell potential: High
Slope: 4 to 60 percent
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Loamy, mixed, active, thermic, shallow Typic Hapludalfs
Solum thickness: 10 to 25 inches (25 to 64 centimeters)
Depth to soft bedrock: 10 to 20 inches (25 to 50 centimeters)
Depth to hard bedrock: 40 to more than 60 inches (100 to 150+ centimeters)
Content and size of rock fragments: 0 to 50 percent in the A horizon consisting of gravel, cobble and stone size fragments and 0 to 35 percent in the Bt horizons.
Dark concretions: none to common.
Soil reaction: strongly acid through slightly acid in the A and E horizons if present, and moderately acid through mildly alkaline in the lower horizons
Clay content: averages 18 to 35 percent
USE AND VEGETATION:
Major Uses: Woodland, pasture and cropland (mainly small grain, lespedeza, corn and tobacco).
Dominant trees are shortleaf, loblolly, and Virginia pines, eastern red cedar, blackjack oak, and post oak.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT:
Distribution: Thermic Piedmont area of Alabama, North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina, and Virginia.
Extent: Moderate The series is of moderate extent.
