SUITABILITY GROUP A-9

(Sandy Bottomland)

Deep, well drained or excessively drained soils with sandysurfaces and subsoils. Soils in this subgroup have sandysurfaces and occur on bottom1ands and receive extra waterfrom upland drainage.

Description:

Limitations: Choice of plants is limited by droughtiness and lowfertility. Soil blowing may be extremely hazardous duringestablishment and early growth.
