    O—0 to 3 centimeters (0.0 to 1.2 inches); fragments; slightly acid, pH 6.5, hellige-truog; abrupt smooth boundary.
    A—3 to 10 centimeters (1.2 to 3.9 inches); dark brown (7.5YR 3/2) fine sandy loam; moderate fine granular structure; slightly hard, very friable, nonsticky, nonplastic; 8.0 very fine and fine roots throughout and 3.0 medium roots throughout; 10.0 fine and medium high-continuity vesicular and tubular pores; fragments; moderately acid, pH 6.0, hellige-truog; clear wavy boundary. Lab sample # KSUSS0622
    E—10 to 20 centimeters (3.9 to 7.9 inches); brown (7.5YR 4/4) loamy fine sand; weak fine subangular blocky structure; slightly hard, very friable, nonsticky, nonplastic; 8.0 very fine and fine roots throughout and 3.0 medium roots throughout; 10.0 fine and medium high-continuity tubular pores; fragments; moderately acid, pH 5.8, hellige-truog; clear smooth boundary.
