Series • The ZPcld series rnnsists of well-dninrd. nearly level soils on uplands. Tltrse soils farmed in wind-worl:ed loamy materials. In a reprnsentativr, nrofilr, the sttrfue la~•er is brown loam abort 6 inches thick. It is noncalcaremts. The npner part of the s»bsoil is dart;-beater[ clac about 6 incites thiclc It is noncalcareotts. The lower part of tltr. soh=nil is pale-brown and very fate sandy loam al>nttt ~fl incltrs thirl;. It is highly calcareous, and mach of the limn is visible as splotches. The underlyin_ material is highly calcareous, pale-brown silt loam and li;ht yellowislt- brown fine sandy loam. ~Peld soils absorb water at a moderate rte, and the available water canacity is high. Prrmeahility is slow, and the entire soil is snitahlr for plant roots.
