Pedology Field Assignment

This document provides a detailed analysis of soil profiles located in Georgia, as part of Brant Phelps' pedology field assignment. It covers two distinct profiles from the University of Florida survey, highlighting key soil properties, such as infiltration rates, water availability, and hydraulic conductivity. The document identifies site characteristics including erosion potential and drainageway classifications. Additionally, it evaluates limitations for dwellings, septic tanks, and local roads, providing essential insights for land use planning and agricultural applications.
