• SOIL PROFILE DESCRIPTION - LOUVIERS SERIES
The Louviers series consists of shallow, well drained soils on side
slopes. These soils formed in material weathered from noncalcareous
clayey shale. Slope is 10 to 65 percent. The average annual
precipitation is 14 to 16 inches, and the average annual air temperature
is 48 to 54 degrees F.
Typical pedon of a Louviers very channery clay loam in
Louviers-Travessilla complex, 3 to 25 percent slopes, 300 feet north and
1,200 feet west of the southeast corner of Section 35, T. 27 S.,
R. 67 N.
Al--0 to 3 inches; brown (lOYR 5/3) very channery clay loam, dark brown
(lOYR 4/3) moist; moderate very fine granular structure; slightly hard,
friable, slightly sticky and slightly plastic; 40 percent sandstone
fragments neutral; clear smooth boundar•.
•
AC--3 to 10 inches; light olive brown (2.SY 5/4) clay loam, light olive
brown (2.SY 5/4) moist; weak medium subangular blocky structure; very
hard, friable, sticky and plastic; 15 percent soft shale fragments
neutral; clear smooth boundary.
C1--10 to 16 inches; light olive brown (2.SY 5/4) clay loam, light olive
brown (2.5Y 5/4) moist; massive; very hard, friable, sticky and plastic;
25 percent soft shale fragments neutral; clear smooth boundary.
C2r-16 inches; light olive brow (2.SY 5/4) noncalcareous shale.
Bedrock is at a depth of 10 to 20 inches. The control section is 35 to
50 percent clay. Soft shale fragments generally is less than 5 percent
but ranges from 0 to 25 percent. The A horizon is brow or grayish
brown. Zt is slightly acid, neutral, or mildly alkaline. The C horizon
• is light olive brown, olive brow, or dark brow. Teature is clay loam,
clay, or shaly clay loam. It is neutral or mildly alkaline.
