A typical profile of a Dewey soil. The Dewey soils, which are very deep and well drained, have few limitations. (Soil Survey of McMinn County, Tennessee; by Richard L. Livingston and Melissa C. Oliver, Natural Resources Conservation Service)
The Dewey series consists of very deep, well drained, moderately permeable soils on uplands. These soils formed in residuum of limestone or in 1 to 2 feet of old alluvium and the underlying residuum from limestone. Slopes range from 2 to 40 percent.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine, kaolinitic, thermic Typic Paleudults
Thickness of the solum and depth to limestone bedrock are more than 60 inches. The soil is strongly acid or very strongly acid unless limed. Rock fragments are mostly gravel size chert and range from 0 to 15 percent in each horizon. Some horizons range up to 25 percent below 40 inches.
USE AND VEGETATION: Most areas are cleared and used for row crops, small grain, hay, pasture. The native vegetation is mixed hardwoods.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Southern Appalachian Ridges (MLRA 128) and Valleys and the Highland Rim and Pennyroyal (MLRA 122) in Tennessee, northwest Georgia, and northern Alabama. The series is of large extent.

This soil is on level to gently undulating alluvial fans and plains. This soil is excessively drained. Median measured saturated hydraulic conductivity class for the
surface layer is high.
This soil is mostly used for rangeland grazing for camels. In areas where water is available, small farms have been developed. Where water resources have been depleted, cultivated lands are idle and returning to natural vegetation. Commonly described vegetation species include Acacia Tortilis, and Haloxylon salicornicum. Vegetative cover is about 1 to 10%.
This soil is on gravelly alluvial fans and plains in a band from south to north along the west side of the mountains. The main distinguishing feature of this soil is the high gravel content, presence of gypsum, and loamy textures with a relatively low but noticeable component of silt plus clay. The desert pavement of surface gravel provides some protection against wind erosion, but if disturbed, wind erosion can become a problem. The high gravel content, and the presence of gypsum as well as other salts, limits the suitability of this soil for agriculture. Soil strength is high due to the gravelly nature of the soil and it can provide a good surface for building sites and roads.

A soil profile of a Haplustand) in Chile. (Soil Survey Staff. 2015. Illustrated guide to Soil Taxonomy. U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service, National Soil Survey Center, Lincoln, Nebraska)
Haplustands have an ochric (typically thin and/or light-colored) epipedon and a cambic (minimal soil development) subsoil horizon. Some have a mollic (rich in humus and bases) epipedon. The Haplustands in the United States generally developed in late-Pleistocene or Holocene deposits. Most formed under coniferous vegetation or grass or shrub vegetation

Caleb Gulley, USDA-NRCS Soil Scientist mapping soils in Sumter County, SC
A soil scientist is a person who is qualified to evaluate and interpret soils and soil-related data for the purpose of understanding soil resources as they contribute to not only agricultural production, but as they affect environmental quality and as they are managed for protection of human health and the environment. The university degree should be in Soil Science, or closely related field (i.e., natural resources, environmental science, earth science, etc.) and include sufficient soils-related course work so the Soil Scientist has a measurable level of understanding of the soil environment, including soil morphology and soil forming factors, soil chemistry, soil physics, and soil biology, and the dynamic interaction of these areas.
Soil survey or soil mapping, is the process of classifying soil types and other soil properties in a given area and geo-encoding such information. It applies the principles of soil science, and draws heavily from geomorphology, theories of soil formation, physical geography, and analysis of vegetation and land use patterns. Primary data for the soil survey are acquired by field sampling and by remote sensing.
In the past, a soil scientist would take hard-copies of aerial photography, topo-sheets, and mapping keys into the field with them. Today, a growing number of soil scientists bring a ruggedized tablet computer and GPS into the field with them.
The term soil survey may also be used as a noun to describe the published results. In the United States, these surveys were once published in book form for individual counties by the National Cooperative Soil Survey.
Today, soil surveys are no longer published in book form; they are published to the web and accessed on NRCS Web Soil Survey where a person can create a custom soil survey. This allows for rapid flow of the latest soil information to the user. In the past it could take years to publish a paper soil survey. The information in a soil survey can be used by farmers and ranchers to help determine whether a particular soil type is suited for crops or livestock and what type of soil management might be required.
An architect or engineer might use the engineering properties of a soil to determine whether it is suitable for a certain type of construction. A homeowner may even use the information for maintaining or constructing their garden, yard, or home.

A soil profile of a Haplocalcid). The white color below a depth of about 30 centimeters is due to accumulations of calcium carbonate. (Soil Survey Staff. 2015. Illustrated guide to Soil Taxonomy. U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service, National Soil Survey Center, Lincoln, Nebraska)
Haplocalcids have a calcic (calcium carbonate accumulation) subsoil horizon with its upper boundary within a depth of 100 cm. Some of these soils have a cambic (minimal soil development) horizon above the calcic horizon. Haplocalcids are extensive worldwide.
Calcids are the Aridisols with accumulations of calcium carbonate that was in the parent materials or was added as dust, or both. Precipitation is insufficient to leach or move the carbonates to great depths. The upper boundary of the calcic (calcium carbonate accumulation) or petrocalcic (cemented by calcium carbonate) horizon is typically within a depth of 50 cm. If these soils are irrigated and cultivated, they typically have micronutrient deficiencies. Calcids are extensive in the western part of the United States and in other arid regions of the world.

A representative soil profile of the Rosman soil series in North Carolina.
The Rosman series consists of very deep, well drained to moderately well drained, moderately rapidly permeable soils on flood plains in the Southern Appalachian Mountains. These soils formed in loamy alluvium derived from igneous, high-grade metamorphic or low-grade metasedimentary geology. Average annual precipitation is about 65 inches and mean annual temperature is about 53 degrees F., near the type location. Slopes range from 0 to 3 percent.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Coarse-loamy, mixed, superactive, mesic Fluventic Humudepts
Solum thickness ranges from 35 to 60 inches or more. The soil ranges from strongly acid to neutral in the A and upper Bw or C horizons and from strongly acid to slightly acid in the lower horizons. Content of flakes of mica ranges from few to many. The loamy horizons extend to depths of at least 40 inches. Strata of contrasting textures may occur in the C horizon below a depth of 40 inches. Gravel content is less than 15 percent by volume in the upper 40 inches and may range up to 50 percent in horizons below 40 inches.
USE AND VEGETATION: Most of the acreage is cleared and in cultivation. The chief crops are corn, truck crops, hay, ornamentals, and pasture grasses. In forested areas common trees are yellow-poplar, eastern white pine, American sycamore, river birch, red maple, northern red oak, willow oak, and black walnut. Understory plants include rhododendron, ironwood, flowering dogwood, alder, greenbrier, and switchcane.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Southern Blue Ridge mountains, MLRA 130B of North Carolina, Tennessee, and possibly Virginia, . This series is of moderate extent.

This soil is on level plains in coastal sabkha. This soil is poorly drained. Median measured saturated hydraulic conductivity class for the surface layer is very low due to the permanently high water table in this soil.
This soil is mostly used for natural areas. Commonly described vegetation species include Halopeplis perfoliata, Halocnemum strobilaceum, Zygophyllum qatarense, and Zygophyllum simplex. Vegetation cover is 1 to 10%.
This soil occurs in coastal sabkha, mostly in a narrow band between Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah. The main distinguishing feature of this soil is the concentration of gypsum in the soil surface, the permanently high water table, and the elevated salinity levels. It is not suited to agriculture or building sites. This soil provides valuable habitat for shorebirds and other coastal plant and animal species.

Rhodic soils are dark red, high in iron, and are common in parts of the Piedmont of the southeastern US. These soils contain few weatherable minerals and are often rich in Fe and Al oxide minerals. Most of these soils are characterized by extremely low native fertility, resulting from very low nutrient reserves, high phosphorus retention by oxide minerals and low cation exchange capacity (CEC).
Pedons have at least one subhorizon that has hue of 2.5YR or redder with moist value of 3 or less (less than 4) in more than 50 percent of the horizon. Typically, the upper Bt has moist value of 4 or less, the middle part has moist value of less than 4, and the lower part has moist value of 4 or more. Mottles (where present)--non-redoximorphic or lithochromic mottles in shades of black, red, yellow, brown, gray, or white
Cleared areas are used for small grain, corn, cotton, soybeans, grain sorghum, hay, and pasture. The original forest consisted of white oak, red oak, post oak, hickory, yellow-poplar, and cedar; reforested areas are in shortleaf and loblolly pine.
