Tb169: Chemical And Physical Properties Of The Mapleton, Monson, Saddelback, And Sisk Soil Map Units, Robert V. Rourke

Technical Bulletins

Mapleton, Monson, Saddleback, and Sisk soil map units were each sampled at five locations. Soil descriptions and locations were documented in the field. Soil samples were removed from each horizon in a 30-cm square to a 100-cm depth or to bedrock whichever came first. Laboratory analyses of each soil horizon sampled included texture, volume of stones, organic content, bulk density, soil water retention, soil reaction, exchangeable cations, extractable acidity, and exchange acidity. Soil descriptions and tables of soil properties were constructed for each sample site. Soil data for each soil map unit was summarized by horizon using weighted means.

Tb165: Chemical And Physical Properties Of The Danforth, Elliotsville, Peacham, And Penquis Soil Map Units, R. V. Rourke

Technical Bulletins

The soils reported in this bulletin have developed in several different parent materials. The Danforth soil has developed from very deep, well drained, loose, high coarse fragment till derived from slate and fine-grained metasandstone. The Elliottsville soils have developed in moderately deep, well drained till derived from slates, metasandstones, phyllite and schists. The Penquis soils developed in moderately deep, well drained till of similar lithology as Elliottsville, but with a higher component of weathered and crushable rock fragments throughout the soil profile. Peacham soils are developed in very deep, very poorly drained, dense till derived from phyllite, schist, and granite.

Tb155: Chemical And Physical Properties Of The Chesuncook, Colonel, Dixfield, And Telos Soil Map Units, R. V. Rourke

Technical Bulletins

Changes in Soil Taxonomy in 1992 resulted in reclassification of the Chesuncook and Dixfield soils. Taxonomic placement of the Telos and Colonel soils was not changed. Soil morphology and laboratory analyses were completed for five replicates of each soil map unit. Weighted averages were developed from laboratory data to define the chemical and physical characteristics of each map unit. Data for individual sites and soils are presented.

Soils Of The Northam Advisory District. Volume 3. The Darling Range And West Kokeby Zones, Ian Fulton, Neil Clifton Lantzke

Bulletins 4000 -

This manual describes the soils of the Department of Agriculture's Northam advisory district. Information is provided on the characteristics of each soil, its capability is discussed and yield estimates for the major land uses are given.

Designed for use by farmers and Department of Agriculture staff, the manual’s primary aims are to:

- Assist with the identification of the advisory district’s soils types

- Match land use with soil quality

- Improve farm productivity and efficiency

- Reduce the incidence of land degradation

Tb145: Chemical And Physical Properties Of The Fryeburg, Lovewell, Cornish, And Charles Soil Map Units, R. V. Rourke

Technical Bulletins

Four soil map units from the flood plains of the Saco and Androscoggin rivers were sampled at five locations each. Soil morphology was described at each site, and samples of the soil were taken for later laboratory analyses. Chemical and physical properties of the soil were analyzed in the laboratory. The morphologic and laboratory data are presented for each pedon sampled and as summaries using weighted means of laboratory data for each soil map unit. Organic carbon measurements are presented at other sites of similar drainages and positions to demonstrate the variable carbon content.

Tb137: Chemical And Physical Properties Of The Aurelie, Burnham, Easton, Lille, Linneus, Monadnock, Nicholville, And Tunbridge Soil Map Units, Robert V. Rourke

Technical Bulletins

Eight soil map units were sampled at five locations in Maine. The morphology of each site was described and samples were taken from each pedon by horizon for laboratory analyses. Soil samples were analyzed to determine their physical and chemical properties. The data were compiled into composite soil profiles using weighted means. Soil profile descriptions accompanied by the analyses of each pedon sampled are presented.
