10113/2016 Official Series Description- MANZANOLA Series LOCATION MANZANOLA CO+NE SD WY Established Series Rev. GB/LLC 04/2003 MANZANOLA SERIES The Manzanola series consists of very deep, well drained soils that formed in alluvial materials derived from sedimentary rock. Manzanola soils are on fans, valley side slopes, drainageways, plains, and stream terraces. Slope gradients are 0 to 25 percent. The mean annual precipitation is about 13 inches and mean annual temperature is about 52 degrees F. TAXONONHC CLASS: Fine, smectitic, mesic Ustic Haplargids TYPICAL PEDON: Manzanola clay loam - grassland. (Colors are for dry soil unless otherwise noted.) A --O to 5 inches; grayish brown (2.5Y 5/2) light clay loam, dark grayish brown (2.5Y 4/2) moist; strong very fine granular structure; soft, very friable, slightly sticky, slightly plastic; calcareous; slightly alkaline; clear smooth boundary. (4 to 7 inches thick) BA --5 to 8 inches; grayish brown (IOYR 5/2) clay loam, dark grayish brown (IOYR 4/2) moist; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; slightly hard, very friable, slightly sticky, slightly plastic; few faint clay films on faces of peds and in root channels and pores; calcareous; moderately alkaline; clear smooth boundary. 0 to 5 inches thick) Bt --8 to 20 inches; brown (IOYR 5/3) clay loam, brown (1 OYR 4/3) moist; weak medium prismatic structure parting to moderate medium and fine angular blocky; slightly hard, friable, sticky, plastic; few faint continuous clay films on peds and in root channels and pores; calcareous; moderately alkaline; gradual wavy boundary. (7 to 24 inches thick) Btk--20 to 30 inches; light yellowish brown (2.5Y 6/3) clay loam, light olive brown (2.5Y 5/3) moist; weak medium prismatic structure parting to moderate medium subangular blocky; hard, friable, slightly sticky, slightly plastic; few faint clay films on peds and in root channels and pores; secondary calcium carbonate masses; calcareous; moderately alkaline; gradual wavy boundary. (5 to 13 inches thick) Bk --30 to 60 inches; pale yellow (2.5Y 7/3) light clay loam, light olive brown (2.5Y 5/3) moist; massive; hard, friable, slightly sticky, slightly plastic; calcium carbonate masses; calcareous; moderately alkaline. TYPE LOCATION: Crowley County, Colorado; 0.1 mile south of the east 1/4 corner of Sec. 7, T. 20 S., R. 55 W. RANGE IN CHARACTERISTICS: Soil moisture: moist in some part May and June and intermittently July and August. A idic moisture regime bordering on ustic. Mean annual soil temperature is 48 to 55 degrees F. Mean summer soil temperature is 70 to 74 degrees F. Depth to uniformly calcareous material: commonly at the surface, but ranges from 0 to 10 inches and is not leached in the argillic horizon. Depth to continuous subhorizons of visible secondary calcium carbonate and/or sulfate ranges from 10 to 40 inches. httpsJ/soilsories.sc.egov.usda.gov/OSD_Docs/M/MANZANOLAhtmi 1/3
