Figure 12.—Representative pr<strong>of</strong>ile <strong>of</strong> the Holly series. This<br />

hydric soil has a seasonal high water table that extends to<br />

the surface and is evidenced by the depleted matrices<br />

and the iron and manganese concentrations throughout.<br />

Depth is marked in inches.<br />

A—0 to 6 inches; gray (10YR 5/1) loam; weak fine granular structure; very friable;<br />

many very fine roots; common fine and medium prominent strong brown (7.5YR<br />

4/6) oxidized rhizospheres; moderately acid; abrupt smooth boundary.<br />

Bg1—6 to 20 inches; gray (10YR 6/1) silt loam; weak medium subangular blocky<br />

structure; very friable; common very fine roots; common fine prominent<br />

boundary.<br />

Bg2—20 to 35 inches; gray (10YR 6/1) silt loam; moderate medium subangular blocky<br />

structure; friable; few very fine roots; common fine prominent strong brown (7.5YR<br />

5/6) iron accumulations; slightly acid; gradual smooth boundary.<br />

Cg1—35 to 49 inches; gray (10YR 6/1) silt loam; massive; friable; common fine and<br />

medium prominent strong brown (7.5YR 4/6) iron accumulations; neutral; gradual<br />
