Epiaquert PH
A soil profile of a Epiaquert in the Philippines. This soil is used for rice production. It is seasonally saturated in about the upper 120 cm of the profile. Below this depth the soil has brighter colors and lacks redoximorphic depletions. This indicates that water perches above this depth. The three slightly curved horizontal features at depths of about 80, 100, and 120 cm are large slickensides exposed for the soil description. (Soil Survey Staff. 2015. Illustrated guide to Soil Taxonomy. U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service, National Soil Survey Center, Lincoln, Nebraska)
Epiaquerts have one or more soil layers that perch water. These layers are commonly close to the surface. Epiaquerts occur on a variety of landforms, including flood plains, glacial lake plains, and depressions. In the United States, they occur in several western States, on the northern Great Plains, and in the South. They also occur in Puerto Rico.
