Sweet | Florida, United States | NA | | | 2024 | COLLECTED | 11/14/2024 | Woodlands in the riparian zone of a headwater spring and wetland leading to Panther Creek. The area is accessed from High Bridge Road by turning south on an unnamed dirt/sand road and driving about 0.27 kilometers to a pond. | 30.90865300, -86.69107200 | 49 | Mostly deciduous woodlands in the riparian zone of a headwater spring and wetland in shade to part shade. Slope: 5 to 8 percent. Aspect: N/A. The underlying geology of this area is characterized as Citronelle Formation of the Pliocene period. The Citronelle Formation is widespread in the Gulf Coastal Plain. The type section for the Citronelle Formation, named by Matson (1916), is near Citronelle, Alabama. The Citronelle Formation grades laterally, through a broad facies transition, into the Miccosukee Formation of the eastern Florida panhandle. Coe (1979) investigated the Citronelle Formation in portions of the western Florida panhandle. The Citronelle Formation is a siliciclastic, deltaic deposit that is lithologically similar to, and time equivalent with, the Cypresshead Formation and, at least in part, the Long Key Formation (Cunningham et al., 1998) of the peninsula. In the western panhandle, some of the sediments mapped as Citronelle Formation may be reworked Citronelle. The lithologies are the same and there are few fossils present to document a possible younger age. The Citronelle Formation consists of gray to orange, often mottled, unconsolidated to poorly consolidated, very fine to very coarse, poorly sorted, clean to clayey sands. It contains significant amounts of clay, silt and gravel which may occur as beds and lenses and may vary considerably over short distances. Limonite nodules and limonite-cemented beds are common. Marine fossils are rare but fossil pollen, plant remains and occasional vertebrates are found. Much of the Citronelle Formation is highly permeable. It forms the Sand and Gravel Aquifer of the surficial aquifer system contain organics. The dominant fossils in the freshwater carbonates are mollusks. (Source: USGS Florida Geologic Map Data). The surface soil profile is classified as Troup-Orangeburg-Cowarts complex, 5 to 12 percent slopes. The Troup series consists of very deep, somewhat excessively drained soils formed in unconsolidated sandy and loamy marine sediments. Troup soils are found on ridges and hillslopes. The Orangeburg series consists of very deep, well drained, moderately permeable soils on uplands of the Southern Coastal Plain. They formed in loamy and clayey marine sediments. The Cowarts series consists of very deep, moderately well and well drained soils on ridge tops and side slopes on uplands of the Coastal Plain Major Land Resource Area. They formed in loamy marine sediments. The reaction of all these soils ranges from very strongly acid to strongly acid.

Soils: The underlying geology of this area is of Cretaceous origin and characterized as Selma Group; Providence Sand. The upper part of the profile consists of cross-bedded fine to coarse sand and white, dark-gray and pale-red-purple mottled clay containing lignite, sand, and kaolin. The lower part consists of dark-gray laminated to thin-bedded silty clay and abundantly micaceous, carbonaceous, fossiliferous very fine to fine sand.

The primary soil types in the collection area are classified as Nankin-Lucy Complex soil (20 to 60 percent slopes). The Nankin Series consists of very deep, well drained, moderately slowly permeable soils on uplands of the Coastal Plain. They formed in stratified loamy and clayey marine sediments. Slopes range from 0 to 60 percent. Soils are comprised of sandy loam in the upper 25 cm to sandy clay loam and sandy clay in lower strata to about 1.7 meters deep; these soils are strongly acid. 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. Slopes vary from 0 to 45 percent. These soils are generally loamy to sandy loam in the upper 25 cm and sandy clay loam in the lower strata to 2 meters; these are strongly acid soils.

The primary soil types in the collection area are classified as Bonneau Loamy Fine Sand soil (0 to 2 percent slopes). The Bonneau Series consists of very deep, well drained, moderately permeable soils on the middle and upper coastal plain. They were formed by marine and fluviomarine deposits. Slopes range from 0 to 12 percent. Soils are comprised of very friable loamy sand that is strongly acid in the upper 0.7 meters. The lower strata to 2 meters are comprised of sandy clay loam that is friable, sometimes with oxidized iron, and strongly acid.
