The site is steeply sloped, underlain by rock, with rocky outcrops. Slope: 15 percent. Aspect: Variable. The underlying geology of this area is Biotite Gneiss, primarily of Precambrian-Paleozoic origin. (Source: USGS North Carolina Geologic Map Data.) The primary soil type in the collection area is classified as Tusquitee loam, 10 to 25 percent slopes. The Tusquitee series consists of very deep, well drained soils on gently sloping to very steep benches, foot slopes, toe slopes, and fans in coves in the Southern Blue Ridge mountains, MLRA 130B. These soils formed in colluvium derived from materials weathered from igneous and high-grade metamorphic crystalline rocks such as granite, mica gneiss, hornblende gneiss, and schist. Slope ranges from 2 to 95 percent. The surface layer to 5cm deep is comprised of moderately decomposed organic matter and leaves, twigs, and roots. Layers to 2m deep range from very dark grayish brown to brown sandy loam with weak medium and coarse granular structure that is friable. A few fine flakes of mica can be found and these soils are very strongly acid. (Source: NRCS Web Soil Survey.) | Wild material | | 2166142 | WLP 3433 |

Slope: 25 percent. Aspect: variable. The underlying geology of this area is Biotite Gneiss, primarily of Precambrian-Paleozoic origin. (Source: USGS North Carolina Geologic Map Data.) The primary soil type in the collection area is classified as Porters Series which is stony and steep. The Porters series consists of deep, well drained, moderately permeable soils on cool, north- to east-facing or shaded ridges and side slopes in the Southern Blue Ridge mountains. These soils formed in residuum, affected by soil creep in the upper part, that has weathered from felsic to mafic, high-grade metamorphic and igneous rocks such as granite, gneiss, hornblende gneiss, mica gneiss, and amphibolite. Slope ranges from 2 to 95 percent. The surface layer to 18cm deep is very dark grayish brown loam; moderate fine and medium granular structure; very friable; many fine roots; few fine mica flakes; slightly acid. From 18 to 90 cm soil range from brown loam with weak fine and medium subangular blocky structure, few mica flakes, and few medium gneiss and quartz fragments that is moderately acid to sandy loam with gneiss saprolite with quartz, weathered feldspar, hornblende, mica and other minerals that is slightly acid and grades into hard rock.

While the upper area of slopes is covered by a thin soil layer, the exposed limestone rock outcrop on the northwestern edge of this area is a low competition niche for plants like the Hydrangea to gain a foothold.

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.
