• The Satanka series are moderately deep soils developed on <br />moderately sloping uplands over calcareous shales and sandstones. <br />They are well-drained with medium runoff and moderate permeability. <br />They are either sandy loams or light sandy clay loams. <br />Typical pedon, Satanka fine sandy loam: <br />Al (0-2") - Brown (lOYR 4/3) fine sandy loam, dark brown (lOYR <br />3/3) moist; weak fine crumb structure; soft, very friable, <br />nonsitcky and nonplastic; many fine and very fine roots; <br />neutral (pH 7.0); abrupt smooth boundary. <br />B1 (2-6") - Light yellowish brown (lOYR 6/4) fine sandy loam; <br />yellowish brown (lOYR 5/4) moist; moderate medium sub- <br />angular blocky structure; soft, very friable, nonsticky <br />and nonplastic; common fine and very fine roots; few dis- <br />continuous clay films on faces of peds; neutral (pH 7.3); <br />clear smooth boundary. <br />B2t (6-15") - Yellowish brown (lOYR 5/9) fine sandy loam, dark <br />yellowish brown (lOYR 3/4) moist; moderate medium prismatic <br />structure parting to subangular blocky; hard, firm, sticky <br />and plastic; common fine roots; slight effervescent in <br />lower part of horizon; many, thick clay films on faces of <br />• peds; neutral (pH 7.3); clear smooth boundary. <br />Baca (15-24") - Brown (lOYR 5/3) sandy clay loam; dark brown <br />(lOYR 4/3) moist; weak medium prismatic structure parting <br />to weak medium subangular blocky; hard, firm, sticky and <br />plastic; strongly effervescent; few fine and medium irreg- <br />ular soft masses and threads of secondary calcium carbonate; <br />few fine and medium roots; mildly alkaline (pH 7.4); clear <br />smooth boundary. <br />Cca (29-36") - Pale brown (lOYR 6/3) sandy loam, brown (lOYR <br />5/3) when moist and crushed; weak moderate subangular <br />blocky; slightly hard, friable, slightly sticky and slightly <br />plastic; violently effervescent; common medium irregular <br />soft masses and seams of lime; few medium roots; mildly <br />alkaline (pH 7.6). <br />Range in characteristics: Depth to the base of the argillic <br />horizon is 15 to 30 inches. Depth to visible lime accumulation is <br />10 to 20 inches. The texture in all horizons ranges from sandy <br />loam to sandy clay loam. Depth to bedrock is 20 to 40 inches. <br />`J <br />-8- <br />
