MHS Soil Types:
13A: Bluford silt loam, 0-2 percent slopes. This nearly level, somewhat poorly drained soil is on broad ridges in the uplands. Water and air move through the Bluford soil at a slow rate. Associated timber types include: white oak, northern red oak, southern red oak, green ash, and bur oak. Site index (expected tree height in 50 years) for white oak is 70 feet. Expected wood production is 52 cubic feet per year.
13B: Bluford silt loam, 2-5 percent slopes. This gently sloping, somewhat poorly drained soil is on board ridges and side slopes in the uplands. Water and air move through the Bluford soil at a slow rate. Associated timber types include: white oak, northern red oak, southern red oak, green ash, and bur oak. Site index (expected tree height in 50 years) for white oak is 70 feet. Expected wood production is 52 cubic feet per year.
13B2: Bluford silt loam, 2-5 percent slopes eroded. This gently sloping, somewhat poorly drained soil is on side slopes in the uplands. Water and air move through the Bluford soil at a slow rate. Surface runoff is medium. The seasonal high water table is perched at a depth of 1-3 feet from January to April. Available water capacity is moderate. Organic matter content is moderately low. Associated timber types include: white oak, northern red oak, southern red oak, green ash, and bur oak. Site index (expected tree height in 50 years) for white oak is 70 feet. Expected wood production is 52 cubic feet per year.
382 Belknap silt loam, occasionally flooded. This nearly level, somewhat poorly drained soil is on upper flood plains. It is occasionally flooded for brief periods from December to March. Surface runoff is slow. Water and air move through Belknap soil at a moderately slow rate. Available water capacity is very high. A seasonal high water table is at a depth of 1-3 feet from March to June. Associated timber types include - riparian and bottomland hardwoods: river birth, sycamore, red maple, cottonwood, bur oak, swamp white oak, swamp chestnut oak, pin oak, Shumard oak, cherrybark oak, pecan, shellbark hickory, and black walnut. Site index (expected tree height in 50 years) for pin oak is 90 feet with a potential volume growth of 400-500 board feet per year. Expected wood production is 72 cubic feet per year. |
