Bartram | Alabama, United States | NA | | | 2023 | COLLECTED | 12/12/2022 | Claiborne Bluffs area along unnamed road to boat ramp on the east side of the Alabama River at the U.S. Highway 84 bridge over the river. Common at this location and along the nearby Alabama River. | 31.54879700, -87.51416400 | 40 | Plants are growing in part-shade to shade of mesic, well-drained, circum-neutral slopes and benches in mature mixed deciduous and evergreen woodlands with good litter layer. Soils: The underlying geology of this area is the Jackson Group Undifferentiated. The units of the Jackson Group are the Yazoo Clay and Crystal River and Moodys Branch Formations. Descriptions of the members of the Yazoo Clay follow in descending order. Shubuta Member - in western Alabama consists of light-greenish-gray to white plastic fossiliferous, calcareous clay containing irregular calcareous nodules. From the Tombigbee River eastward, the Shubuta becomes more calcareous and grades into massive clayey glauconitic limestone. Eastward from the Alabama River, equivalent beds grade into the Crystal River Formation. Pachuta Marl Member - light-greenish-grey glauconitic, fossiliferous clayey sand and sandy limestone traceable from western Alabama eastward to Covington County where it grades into the Crystal River Formation. Cocoa Sand Member - yellowish-gray firm calcareous, fossiliferous fine to medium sand or sandy limestone or greenish-grey micaceous, calcareous, very clayey sand. Calcareous and clayey sand equivalent to the Cocoa is traceable from western Alabama to the Conecuh River area. (Source: USGS Alabama Geological Map Data). The surface soil profile of this portion of the bluffs along the Alabama River are characterized as Saffell-Lucy (Flomaton) Series Complex soils. The Saffell Series consists of very deep, well drained, moderately permeable soils that formed in loamy and gravelly marine sediments of the Tertiary Age and have acid reaction. These soils are found on the upper portion of the bluffs along the Alabama River. The Lucy Series consists of very deep, well drained, moderately permeable soils on uplands. They formed in sandy and loamy marine and fluvial sediments of the Southern Coastal Plain Major Land Resource Area. Soil reaction runs from strongly to moderately acid. The Flomaton Series consists of very deep, excessively drained, rapidly permeable soils on uplands of the Southern Coastal Plain Major Land Resource Area. They formed in gravelly sandy marine sediments and also have an acid reaction. The remainder of soils are of miscellaneous origin.

Soils: The underlying geology of this area is Claiborne Group, Tallahatta Formation, of Eocene origin, with white to very light-greenish-gray thin-bedded to massive siliceous claystone; interbedded with thin layers of fossiliferous clay, sandy clay, and glauconitic sand and sandstone.

The primary soil type in the collection area is classified as Arundel Loam soil (8 to 35 percent slopes). The Arundel Series consists of moderately deep, well drained, very slowly permeable soils on dissected uplands of the Southern Coastal Plain. They formed in marine deposits consisting of acid clays underlain by horizontally bedded sandstone, buhrstone and siltstone. These soils are strongly acid. Slopes range from 2 to 60 percent.

Plants are locally common and spread out in the floodplain area along the Octoraro Creek. | 39.73540700, -76.09226500 | 60 | Plants of this species are growing in full sun to part shade of a moist to seasonally mucky and wide flood plain area adjacent to Octoraro Creek. The area is dominated by deciduous herbaceous plants, scrambling vines, shrubs and occasional small trees. Much of this wet “meadow” is dominated by aggressive stands of grasses and members of the sedge family.
Soils: The underlying geology of this area is estimated to be of lower Paleozoic origin and comprised of Peters Creek Schist. This is comprised of chlorite-sericite schist containing interbedded quartzite. Interestingly, this area is very close to and may interface with the adjacent formation of Ultramafic Rocks that includes serpentine, steatite, and other products of alteration of peridotites and pyroxenites.

The primary soil types in the collection area are classified as Hatboro Silt Loam which consists of soils formed in alluvium derived from metamorphic and crystalline rock. They are on flood plains. Slopes range from 0 to 3 percent. Hatboro Silt Loam soils are poorly drained and have a high to very high surface runoff index. These soils are subject to periodic stream overflow, which usually occurs during the winter and spring months. The A and B horizons are moderately acidic to neutral, generally to a depth of 1-2 meters; the C horizon below ranges from a depth of 2-3 meters with uniformly acidic soils.
