APPENDIX 9-5-3 (Cont.)
Soil Profile Descriptions for all Sampled Pedons
6 Roots: Number Type
Very Few VF Very Fine
Few F Fine
Com (Common) M Medium
Many CO Coarse
Roots are described in terms of a specified size (type) and quantity (number). The size classes are:
Very Fine: Less than 1 mm in diameter
Fine: 2 mm in diameter
eTTium: 2 to 5 mm in diameter
oarse: 5 mm or larger in diameter
cots larger than 10 mm in diameter may be described separately.
Quantity classes of roots are defined in terms of numbers of each size per unit area--1 square centimeter
for very fine and fine roots, and 1 square decimeter for medium and coarse roots. All roots smaller
than 10 mm in diameter are described in terms of the following quantity classes:
Few: Less than 1 per unit area of the specified size
mammon: 1 to 5 per unit area of the specified size
Many: More than 5 per unit area of the specified size
Ch
Roots are described as to number first, and type second.
7 Coarse Fragments: All coarse fragment percentages (% by weight) are taken from Soil Laboratory Data. Numbers are rounded to
t e nearest woe number. Lithologic modifier types (gravelly, channery, etc.) are taken from the "232" field soil profile
description form for each sampled profile.
