The woodlands are primarily deciduous with a few evergreens infrequently mixed. Slope: 15 to 30 percent. Aspect: Northeast. Soil: The primary soil type in the area of this collection is classified as Rockland Series sandstone (Rc). The Rockland series consists of well drained soils formed in loamy colluvium from rotational landslides on slopes of stream valleys and dissections of ground moraines. Saturated hydraulic conductivity is moderate in the upper part of the profile and moderately slow in the lower part. Slopes range from 18 to 70 percent. Some pedons have buried leaves, twigs, and moss. Mass soil movement has left random remnants of soil structure from prior upslope soil development and has buried tree branches, leaves and moss. The upper 0-2 cm of soil contains slightly decomposed organic matter while lower soils layers to a depth of 58 cm are comprised of dark reddish-brown to brown silt loam and are moderately acidic. Below 58 cm the soils are generally dark reddish-brown silt loam and strongly to moderately alkaline. (Source:California Soil Resource Lab/NRCS Official Soil Series Descriptions). Geology: The underlying geology of this area is of Pennsylvanian origin and characterized as Pottsville Formation. It is characterized by light-gray thin to thick-bedded quartzose sandstone and conglomerate containing interbedded dark-gray shale, siltstone, and coal. Mapped on Lookout Mountain, Blount and Chandler Mountains, and Sand Mountain northeast of Blount County, and on the mountains of Jackson, Marshall, and Madison Counties north and west of the TN river.

The site is accessed through a now gated and permanently closed Eglin AFB, East River Unit, A-21 Road (now open to pedestrian traffic only with a valid Eglin user permit). After walking through the gated road, the site is to the west along 4-wheeling trails.30.41191000, -86.773158008Part shade in a primarily evergreen extremely dry dune community with a mixed understory of deciduous and evergreen plants. Slope: 0 to 2 percent. Soils: The soils of this are characterized as Kureb Series sand, 0 to 8 percent slopes. The Kureb series consists of very deep, excessively drained, gently sloping to moderately steep soils on Coastal Plain uplands and on side slopes along streams and bays. They have formed in marine, aeolian, or fluvial sands. Slopes range from 0 to 20 percent. The thickness of the sandy horizon is more than 2 meters. Soil reaction is neutral to extremely acid throughout. All horizons are fine sand, sand, or coarse sand. Silt plus clay content is less than 5 percent. (Source: California Soil Resource Lab/NRCS Official Soil Series Descriptions). Geology: The underlying geology of this area is characterized as undifferentiated Quaternary Sediments. Much of Florida's surface is covered by a varying thickness of undifferentiated sediments consisting of siliciclastics, organics and freshwater carbonates. Where these sediments exceed 6.1 meters thick, they were mapped as discrete units. To subdivide the undifferentiated sediments, those sediments occurring in flood plains were mapped as alluvial and flood plain deposits (Qal). Sediments showing surficial expression of beach ridges and dunes were mapped separately (Qbd) as were the sediments composing Trail Ridge (Qtr). Terrace sands were not mapped (refer to Healy [1975] for a discussion of the terraces in Florida). The subdivisions of the Undifferentiated Quaternary Sediments (Qu) are not lithostratigraphic units but are utilized to facilitate a better understanding of the State's geology. The siliciclastics are light gray, tan, brown to black, unconsolidated to poorly consolidated, clean to clayey, silty, unfossiliferous, variably organic-bearing sands to blue green to olive green, poorly to moderately consolidated, sandy, silty clays. Gravel is occasionally present in the panhandle. Organics occur as plant debris, roots, disseminated organic matrix and beds of peat. Freshwater carbonates, often referred to as marls in the literature, are scattered over much of the State. In southern Florida, freshwater carbonates are nearly ubiquitous in the Everglades. These sediments are buff colored to tan, unconsolidated to poorly consolidated, fossiliferous carbonate muds. Sand, silt and clay may be present in limited quantities. These carbonates often contain organics. The dominant fossils in the freshwater carbonates are mollusks. (Source: USGS Florida Geologic Map Data).Wild material2193006NA 89160

Slope: 0 to 2 percent. Aspect: North. 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. The dominant fossils in the freshwater carbonates are mollusks. (Source: USGS Florida Geologic Map Data). The soils of this are characterized as Lakeland Series Sand, 0 to 5 percent slopes. The Lakeland series consists of very deep, excessively drained, rapid to very rapidly permeable soils on uplands. They formed in thick beds of eolian or marine and/or fluvio-marine sands in the Southern Coastal Plain MLRA (133A), the Carolina and Georgia Sandhills (MLRA 137), the Eastern Gulf Coast Flatwoods (MLRA 152A) and the Atlantic Coast Flatwoods (MLRA 153A). Slopes are dominantly from 0 to 12 percent but can range to 85 percent in dissected areas. Thickness of the sand exceeds 200 cm. Silt plus clay in the 25 to 100 cm control section ranges from 5 to 10 percent. Reaction ranges from very strongly acid to moderately acid throughout.

The soils of this are characterized as Dorovan-Pamlico Series association. The Dorovan Series consists of very deep, very poorly drained, moderately permeable soils on densely forested flood plains, hardwood swamps, and depressions in the Atlantic Coast Flatwoods (153A), Eastern Gulf Coast Flatwoods (152A), and Southern Coastal Plain Major (133A) Land Resource Areas. They formed in highly decomposed acid-organic materials. Slopes are less than 1 percent. The organic material ranges from 1.3 to 2 meters or more thick. Reaction is extremely acid to very strongly acid in the organic layers and very strongly acid or strongly acid in the mineral layers. The Pamlico Series consists of very poorly drained soils that formed in decomposed organic material underlain by dominantly sandy sediment. The soils are on nearly level flood plains, bays, and depressions of the Coastal Plain. Slopes are less than 1 percent. Pamlico soils have 0.4 to 1.3 meters of organic material over dominantly sandy sediments.
