Sugargrove soil series
A representative soil profile of the Sugargrove series.
The Sugargrove series consists of moderately deep to deep, well drained soils on uplands. They formed in residuum weathered from interbedded siltstone, limestone, and shale. Slopes range from 2 to 25 percent.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine-loamy, mixed, semiactive, thermic Typic Hapludults
Solum thickness ranges from 25 to 55 inches. Depth to soft bedrock ranges from 20 to 60 inches. Depth to hard bedrock is 40 inches or more. Most pedons have a Cr horizon, commonly between 24 and 50 inches, above hard siltstone or less commonly limestone bedrock. Reaction is strongly acid or very strongly acid. Content of rock fragments range from 10 to 35 percent in A, E, and upper part of the Bt horizons and from 15 to 60 or more percent in the lower part of the Bt and C horizons. Most pedons have transition horizons with colors and texture similar to adjacent horizons.
USE AND VEGETATION: About one-half of the acreage is cleared and used mainly for pasture. The remainder is in oak-hickory forest.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: The Highland Rim in Tennessee and possibly the Pennyroyal in Kentucky. The area is of moderate extent.
