Buried Wake Series Soil

Wake series (Lithic Udipsamments) soils form on highly resistant felsic igneous intrusions of the Piedmont in North Carolina. This soil has been buried by slopewash and human transported materials (0-70 cm depth). The original surface was over a sandy Bw horizon and lithic contact (R). These soils are one of the few upland Entisols found in this region of the Carolinas.
