WANN SERIES
Yage 1 of
The Wann series includes very deep, somewhat poorly drained soils formed in stratified calcareous
alluvium. These soils are on flood plains and have slopes of 0 to 2 percent. Mean annual temperature is
about 11 degrees C (51 degrees F) and mean annual precipitation is about 64 centimeters (25 inches) at
the type location.
TAXONO~TIC CLASS: Coarse-loamy, mined, superactive, mesic Fluvaquentic Haplustolls
TYPICAL PEDUN: Wann fine sandy loam - with a slope of less than 1 percent in a cultivated field.
(Colors are for dry soil unless otherwise stated.)
Ap--O to 15 centimeters (0 to 6 inches); dark gray (lOYR 4V) fine sandy loam, very dark gray (lOYR 3Vl
moist; weak medium granular structure; soft, very friable; many fine roots throughout; slightly alkaline;
abrupt smooth boundary.
A--15 to 41 centimeters (6 to 16 inches); gray (lOYR 5/1) fine sandy loam, very dark gray (lOYR 3/1)
moist; weak coarse blocky structure parting to moderate medium granular; soft, friable; common fine
roots throughout; strong effervescence; moderately alkaline. (Combined A horizons 20 to 51 centimeters
(8 to 20 inches) thick.)
C--41 to 127 centimeters (l6 to 50 inches); light brownish gray (lOYR 6f2) sandy loam, grayish brown
(lOYR 5/2) moist, with thin strata of gray (lOYR 5/1) fine sandy loam, very dark gray (lOYR 3/1) moist;
common medium distinct yellowish brown (lOYR S/4) moist iron masses in the matrix; weak coarse
prismatic structure; soft, friable; strong effervescence; moderately alkaline; clear wavy boundary. (fil to
91 centimeters (24 to 36 inches) thick)
Cg--127 to 152 centimeters (50 to 60 inches); gray (IOYR 6/1) sandy loam, dark gray (lOYR 4/1) moist;
single grain; loose; soft white masses of lime above 132 centimeters (52 inches); strong effervescence;
moderately alkaline.
TYPE LOCATION: Polk County, Nebraska, about 10 miles north and 1 mile west of Shelby, Nebraska;
244 meters (800 feet) south and 30 meters (100 feet) east of the northwest corner, sec. 28, T.161~3., R.1
W. USGS Columbus Southwest topographic quadrangle; latitude 41 degrees 20 minutes, 6 seconds
North and longitude 97 degrees, 26 minutes, 40 seconds West.
RANGE IN CHARACTERISTICS:
Soil moisture: moist solum from December through April and intermittently moist from May through
December, driest July through September
Depth to secondary carbonates: Some pedons contain carbonates at the surface and typically contain free
carbonates in control section
