Jayhawker soil series

A representative soil profile of Jayhawker silt loam, 0 to 1 percent slopes. (Soil Survey of Hardin County, Texas; by Jonathan K. Wiedenfeld, Natural Resources Conservation Service)

 

The Jayhawker series consists of very deep, poorly drained soils. These nearly level to slightly depressional soils formed in loamy fluviomarine dpoesits of the Lissie Formation of early to mid-Pleistocene age. Slope ranges from 0 to 1 percent. Mean annual temperature is about 19.5 degrees C (67 degrees F), and mean annual precipitation is about 1295 mm (51 in

 

TAXONOMIC CLASS: Coarse-silty, siliceous, active, thermic Typic Paleaquults

 

Soil Moisture: An aquic soil moisture regime.

Mean annual soil temperature: 20.6 to 21.7 degrees C (69 to 71 degrees F)

Depth to fragipan: 140 to 191 cm (55 to 75 in)

Aluminum saturation: 65 to 90 percent

Particle-size control section (weighted average)

Clay content: 8 to 15 percent

Sand content larger than very fine sand: 5 to 12 percent

CEC/clay ratio: 0.5 to 0.6

 

USE AND VEGETATION: Used primarily for woodland and wildlife habitat. Native vegetation is slash and loblolly pine, black gum, red maple, water oak, sedges, panicums and paspalums.

 

DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Southeast Texas; Land Resource Region T; MLRA 152B; the series is of moderate extent. The Jayhawker soils were previously included with the Sorter and Waller series.
