Ap—0 to 25 centimeters (0.0 to 9.8 inches); brown (10YR 4/3) loamy sand; weak fine granular structure; friable; 21.0 roots; fragments. Lab sample # 40A03555. There is little tendency for the soil to clod when plowed or even when dug from the profile.
Bw1—25 to 51 centimeters (9.8 to 20.1 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) sand; single grain; very friable; 3.0 roots; fragments; very strongly acid, pH 5.0, unspecified. Lab sample # 40A03556. This perhaps is an eroded soil and this particular horizon may be the original B22. As much as 8 or 10 inches may have been lost judging solely on the basis of an expected stronger B21 color for the noneroded soil.
Bw2—51 to 61 centimeters (20.1 to 24.0 inches); light olive brown (2.5Y 5/4) very fine sandy loam; massive parts to weak platy; friable; brittle; 3.0 roots; fragments; slightly acid, pH 6.4, unspecified. Lab sample # 40A03557. At the time of sampling, this horizon was definitely more moist than the horizon above. This horizon contains more roots than the horizon below.
2C—61 to 102 centimeters (24.0 to 40.2 inches); olive gray (5Y 4/2) clay loam; platy structure; firm, nonsticky, slightly plastic; 3.0 medium pores; reddish brown (5YR 4/4) coats on faces of peds; fragments. Lab sample # 40A03558. Coats are 1/8-1/4 inch, in size and are apparently around most of the weak 1/8-1/4 angular blocks of which this horizon is composed. Pores are glazed and irregular in shape. The red coats, themselves, are not especially glazed and perhaps are iron oxide rather than silicate clays. Roots are throughout, not in any particular location. No tendency for prismatic structure was noted. No gray mottles.; discontinuous - phpvsfiid 1091793; discontinuous - phpvsfiid 1091793
