The underlying geology of this area is of Cambrian/Late Proterozoic origin and characterized as a Metamorphosed Granitic Rock. It is megacrystic and well foliated; locally contains hornblende. Chapel Hill, Chatham, Farrington, Meadow Flats, Mt. Moriah, Parks Crossroads plutons, and Roxboro and Vance County suites. (Source: USGS North Carolina Geologic Map Data.) The primary soil type in the collection area is classified as Wedowee sandy loam, 15 to 25 percent slopes. Wedowee Series consists of very deep, well drained, moderately permeable soils that formed in residuum weathered from felsic igneous and metamorphic rocks of the Piedmont uplands. These soils are on narrow ridges and on side slopes of uplands. Slopes are dominantly 6 to 25 percent but ranges from 0 to 60 percent. The strata range from dark brown and brownish yellow to strong brown. They are mostly sandy loam; moderate fine granular structure; very friable; strongly acid.

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.

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.

The underlying geology of this area is the Tabb Formation of Quaternary origin which is comprised of undifferentiated sand, silt, and peat and subdivided into three members. Within the Tabb Formation lies the Lynnhaven Member with pebbly and cobbly, fine to coarse gray sand grades upward into clayey and silty fine sand and sandy silt. Extensive low lands bounded on the landward side by river-, bay-, and ocean-facing scarps having toe altitudes of 5-6 meters. Thickness is 0 to 6.5 meters.
