Scope:
Notes: Estimated median percentage clay content of estimated soil texture. The estimated clay contents for 6 texture groups by McDonald et al. (1990) were used as a guide: interpreted values were increased or decreased depending on the type of soil within a group. Derived from McKenzie et al. (2000). The solum average clay content is the A and B horizon estimates weighted by the depth of each horizon.
Keywords: soil, grain
