Kr_Kureb sandKr-Kureb sand, 1 to 8 percent slopes.
This excessively drained soil is on long, broad ridges on the uplands. Areas are generally broad and long.
Most of the acreage is forested. The rest is used for residential and industrial sites. The sparse native
vegetation on the higher elevations is turkey oak, scattered longleaf pine, a few bluejack oaks, and
scattered dwarf myrtle and huckleberry. Much of the area is barren of any vegetation, except for mosses
and lichens. On the lower slopes, the vegetation increases in density and includes various oaks, scattered
hickory, holly, and brackenfern.
Typically, the surface layer is dark gray sand 3 inches thick. The subsurface layer is light gray sand 23 inches
thick. The underlying layer, to a depth of 89 inches, is brownish yellow sand in the upper part and pale
brown sand in the lower part.
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of Lakeland, Baymeade, Rimini, and Leon soils. Some
small areas of soils that are generally at an elevation of less than 25 feet are also included. These soils
have mixed mineralogy.
The organic-matter content of the surface layer is very low. Permeability is rapid, available water capacity
is very low, and shrink-swell potential is low. Reaction is neutral to very strongly acid throughout, unless
this soil is limed. The seasonal high water table is at a depth of more than 6 feet.
Very low available water capacity and rapid permeability are the main limitations in the use and
management of this soil. This soil is very droughty. Irrigation, soil conditioners, and fertilizer are needed
if lawn grasses, shrubs, and trees are to be established. Capability subclass VI Is; woodland group 5s.
