Choke soil series
A representative soil profile of Choke silty clay loam, 1 to 3 percent slopes. The soil becomes much lighter in color beginning at about 55 centimeters. Carbonates begin to increase at this depth as well. (Soil Survey of Live Oak County, Texas; by Paul D. Holland, Natural Resources Conservation Service)
The Choke series consists of very deep, well drained, moderately permeable soils. These soils formed in calcareous loamy residuum over tuffaceous sediments. These gently sloping soils are on erosional remnants. Slopes range from 1 to 5 percent.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine-silty, mixed, superactive, hyperthermic Aridic Calciustolls
Soil Moisture: An aridic ustic moisture regime. The soil moisture control section is moist in some or all parts for less than 90 consecutive days in normal years. June to August and December to February are the driest months, while September to November and March to May are the wettest months.
Solum thickness: 150 to 200 cm (60 to 80 in)
Depth to densic contact: 150 to 200 cm (60 to 80 in)
Particle-size control section (weighted average)
Clay content: (non-carbonate) 20 to 35 percent
Sand content: (coarser than very fine sand) 4 to 15 percent
Electrical conductivity ranges from 0.4 to 2 dS/m in the A, Bw, and upper part of the Bk horizons and 4 to 12 dS/m in the lower part of the Bk and 2Cr horizon.
USE AND VEGETATION: Used mainly for rangeland and wildlife habitat. Native grasses are plains bristlegrass, hooded windmillgrass, pink pappusgrass, Arizona cottontop, and twoflower and fourflower trichloris. Woody plants include guajillo, mountain laurel, paloverde, desert yaupon, mesquite, and agarita. (Gray Sandy Loam range site, PZ 18-25, R083BY421TX).
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Northern, Western and Central Rio Grande Plain, Texas; LRR I; MLRA 83A, 83C; minor extent.
