Lucy soil series
Soil profile: A representative profile of a Lucy soil, which formed in sandy and loamy marine sediments. The surface and subsurface layers of the Lucy soils are sand and have a combined thickness ranging from 50 to 100 centimeters inches. Lucy soils are a fair source of sand for commercial purposes. (Soil Survey of Houston County, Alabama; by John L. Burns, Natural Resources Conservation Service)
The Lucy series consists of very deep, well drained, moderately permeable soils on uplands. They formed in sandy and loamy marine and fluvial sediments of the Southern Coastal Plain Major Land Resource Area (MLRA 133A). Near the type location, the average annual precipitation is about 53 inches and the average annual air temperature is about 65 inches. Slopes range from 0 to 45 percent.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Loamy, kaolinitic, thermic Arenic Kandiudults
Solum thickness is more than 60 inches. Reaction ranges from very strongly acid to moderately acid in the A and E horizons except where lime has been added, and from extremely acid to strongly acid in the subsoil. Thickness of the A horizon plus the E horizon ranges from 20 to 40 inches.
USE AND VEGETATION: Nearly level to gently sloping areas are used for growing peanuts, corn, cotton, and soybeans. Sloping areas are used for hay and pasture. Steeper areas are used for woodland.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: The Southern Coastal Plain of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. The series is of large known extent.
