    Ap—0 to 9 centimeters (0.0 to 3.5 inches);, dark brown (10YR 3/3) broken face, moist; sandy clay loam; 20 percent clay; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; soft, very friable, slightly sticky, slightly plastic; moderately slow permeability; 6.0 very fine roots throughout and 2.0 fine roots throughout; fragments; noneffervescent, by hcl, 1n; clear smooth boundary.; observed in pit, small. The color described in the field (10YR 3/3 moist) meets the mollic horizon criteria, but the measured total carbon is only 0.53 percent with a trace of calcium carbonate. This results in this pedon being classified in the Alfisols order.
    Bt1—9 to 20 centimeters (3.5 to 7.9 inches);, dark brown (10YR 3/3) broken face, moist; sandy clay loam; 26 percent clay; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; slightly hard, friable, slightly sticky, slightly plastic; moderately slow permeability; 3.0 very fine roots throughout and 1.0 fine roots throughout; 2.0 fine low-continuity tubular pores; 10 percent faint clay films on vertical faces of peds; fragments; noneffervescent, by hcl, 1n; clear smooth boundary.; observed in pit, small. The color described in the field (10YR 3/3 moist) meets the mollic horizon criteria, but the measured total carbon is only 0.41 percent with a trace of calcium carbonate. This results in this pedon being classified in the Alfisols order.; discontinuous - phpvsfiid 320494; discontinuous - phpvsfiid 320494
