~ Weld Series The 1Tcld series rnnsistr of well-drained, nearly lrvel soils on IlPlands. These sails formed in wind-~cnrl;ed loamy materials. In a reprrsentativr. nrnfile. the slrfacc layer is brown loam ahmrt fi inches thick. It is noncalcarenns. The upper ~ part of the sntbsoil is dart:-brown tine about B incurs thlcle It is noncslcsreafu. The lower part of the sllh=oil is pale-brown sod verc fine sandy loam altoni °_0 inrltrs thirlc It is highly calcareous. and mach of the limn is visible as splotches. The underlyin, material is hiehly cslcsreons, pale-brown silt loam and li;ht yellowisll- brown fine sandy loam. ~ Weld soils absorb water at a moderate rate. sod the available water csnacity is hi:h. Permeability is slow, and the entire soil is snitahle for plant rootr.
