These soil classes are comprised of medium to fine-graded Micaceous sandy silts, Micaceous clayey silts, chert clays and shaly clays. Undesirable characteristics of these soils are high volume change properties and/or low densities. The bearing …

Appendix B-1 contains charts of Georgia’s soils series with estimated soil properties and soils limitations for urban uses. These charts may be used in conjunction with published soil survey information or other soils maps available through the Soil and Water Conservation Dis-tricts and the Natural Resources Conservation Service.

Jun 2, 2015 · Over 200 soil scientists from many different organizations (federal, state, local agencies, as well as private entities and institutions) helped surveyed Georgia’s soils – work that involved observing, examining, studying, sampling, analyzing, classifying and naming the soils.

NCSS standard procedures and terms for describing soils are used in the National Soil Information System (NASIS) database, which stores soil descriptions and associated information. Differences and linkages between soil science conventions, NASIS, and older systems are shown, where reasonable, as an aid for interpreting and converting archived ...

Web Soil Survey (WSS) provides soil data and information produced by the National Cooperative Soil Survey. It is operated by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and provides access to the largest natural resource information system in the world.

Soils tests provide information on the soil’s actual nutrient status. Test results are used to determine the amount and kind of nutrients that should be added for the best growth of lawn, garden, and other types of plants.

The Georgia series consists of very deep, moderately well drained soils on glaciated uplands. They formed in loamy till. Permeability is moderate in the solum and slow in the substratum.

A soil test is a chemical method for estimating the relative nutrient supplying power of a soil. Several chemical extractants have been developed, based on the chemical and physical properties of soils within various regions of the country, to evaluate the fertility status of soils.
