Study Notes
Soil Classification and Land Capability
- Slope categories are based on the percentage of elevation change over a given distance, with Texas having six categories ranging from nearly level to very steep.
- Erosion is classified as none to slight, moderate, severe, or very severe based on the percentage of original topsoil remaining.
- Topsoil texture is determined by the proportion of sand, silt, and clay, with fine, medium, and coarse textures having specific characteristics.
- Permeability rates the movement of water or air through the soil as rapid, moderate, or slow, based on the subsoil type.
- Drainage is categorized as excessive, well-drained, moderate, somewhat poor, poorly drained, or wet, influencing the soil's tillability after rainfall.
- Effective depth refers to the depth to which plant roots can easily penetrate and is classified as deep, moderately deep, shallow, or very shallow.
- Land capability classes are a system designed to classify land based on its best use and are divided into two groups for crop production or permanent vegetation.
- There are eight land capability classes, with higher numbers indicating less suitability for crop production.
- Class I land is very good for crop production, with ideal soils and no restrictions, while Class II has some limitations but is suitable for crop production.
- Class III may be used for crop production with certain conservation practices, and Class IV is borderline cultivatable land with severe limitations.
- Class V-VIII are suited only for permanent vegetation as pasture or forest and have increasing limitations for crop production.
- Each land capability class has specific characteristics related to slope, topsoil thickness, erosion, texture, permeability, drainage, and effective depth.
