A core sample of the Zion series in an area mapped as ZwC from the Soil Survey of Stokes County, North Carolina (Photo provided by John Kelley, USDA-NRCS).
For more information refer to the National Soil Survey Handbook Section 618.42 Linear Extensibility Percent.
The Zion series is a fine, mixed, superactive, mesic Typic Hapludalf formed in residuum from mafic rock on Piedmont uplands. It has a clayey Bt horizon with moderate to high shrink-swell potential, particularly in the subsoil.
Implications:
• Engineering: High shrink-swell potential may affect foundations, pavements, and utility lines.
