  1. Control Sections Prepared By Robert Engel National Soil Survey Center

  2. Control Sections for Particle-size Classes, Mineralogy Classes, Cation-Exchange Activity Classes, Reaction Classes, Classes of Coatings (On sands), and Classes of Cracks A. Permafrost or root limiting layer within 35 cm of the mineral soil surface. 35 cm 35 cm Root Limiting Layer Permafrost

  3. Control Sections for Particle-size Classes, Mineralogy Classes, Cation-Exchange Activity Classes, and Reaction Classes B. Andisols 35 cm 100 cm Root Limiting Layer

  4. Control Sections for Particle-size Classes, Mineralogy Classes, and Cation-Exchange Activity Classes C. Alfisols, Ultisols, Aridisols, and Mollisols (except lamellic subgroups) with the top of an argillic, kandic, or a natric horizon within 100 cm and its lower boundary at at depth of 25 cm or more below the mineral soil surface. 1. With a strongly contrasting particle size class 2.All partsof the argillic horizon within or below a fragipan 25 cm Argillic Horizon Contrasting Material 100 cm Fragipan Root Limiting Layer

  5. Control Sections for Particle-size Classes, Mineralogy Classes, and Cation-Exchange Activity Classes C. Alfisols, Ultisols, Aridisols, and Mollisols (except lamellic subgroups) with the top of an argillic, kandic, or a natric horizon within 100 cm and its lower boundary at at depth of 25 cm or more below the mineral soil surface. 3. Fragipan within 100 cm and below top of argillic horizon 4. Upper 50 cmor all of the argillic if less than 50 cm thick Argillic Horizon 50 cm 100 cm Argillic Fragipan 100 cm C horizon

  6. Control Sections for Particle-size Classes, Mineralogy Classes, and Cation-Exchange Activity Classes D. Alfisols, Ultisols, Aridisols, and Mollisols that are in the lamillic subgroup or have the top of an argillic horizon below 100 cm Ap horizon 25 cm 100 cm Argillic horizon

  7. Control Sections for Particle-size Classes, Mineralogy Classes, Cation-Exchange Activity Classes, Reaction Classes, Classes of Coatings (On sands), and Classes of Cracks E. Other soils that have the base of the argillic horizon at a depth of less than 25 cm F. All other mineral soils Ap Horizon Argillic 25 cm 25 cm 100 cm 100 cm

  8. Control Section for Calcareous Classes

  9. Control Sections for Calcareous Classes 1. Soils with a densic, lithic, or paralithic contact 25 cm or less below the mineral soil surface 2. Soils with a densic, lithic, or paralithic contact between 26 and 50 cm 25 cm 25 cm Densic, lithic, or paralithic contact Densic, lithic, or paralithic contact 50 cm

  10. Control Sections for Calcareous Classes 3. All other listed soils 25 cm 50 cm

  11. Control Sections for Soil Temperature Classes 50 cm Densic, lithic, or paralithic contact

  12. Series Control SectionMineral Soils Without Permafrost The series control section for mineral soils without permafrost extends from the soil surface to the shallowest of the following: 1. A lithic or petroferric contact: or 2. 25 cm below a densic or paralithic contact or 150 cm from the soil surface, whichever is shallower, if there is a paralithic contact within 150 cm: or 0 cm 0 cm 0 cm 40 cm 40 cm lithic or petroferric contact Densic or paralithic contact 140 cm Densic or paralithic contact CONTROL SECTION 0-40 cm CONTROL SECTION 0-65 cm CONTROL SECTION 0-150 cm

  13. Series Control SectionMineral Soils Without Permafrost (cont.) 3. 150 cm, if the bottom of the deepest diagnostic horizon is less than 150 cm from the soil surface; or 4. The bottom of the deepest diagnostic horizon or 200 cm, whichever is shallower if the bottom of the deepest diagnostic horizon is more than 150 cm from the soil surface. 0 cm 0 cm 100 cm base of deepest diagnostic horizon 175 cm Base of deepest diagnostic horizon 200 cm CONTROL SECTION 0-150 cm 200 cm CONTROL SECTION 0-175 cm

  14. Series Control SectionMineral Soils With Permafrost The series control section for soils that have permafrost within 150 cm of the mineral soil surface extends from the soil surface to the shallowest of the following: 1. A lithic of petroferric contact; or 2. 100 cm if depth to permafrost is less than 75 cm; or 0 cm 0 cm 30 cm 40 cm permafrost lithic or petroferric contact 100 cm CONTROL SECTION 0-40 cm CONTROL SECTION 0-100 cm

  15. Series Control SectionMineral Soils With Permafrost (cont.) 3. 25 cm below the top of the permafrost if depth to permafrost is 75 cm to 125 cm; or 4. 25 cm below a densic or paralithic contact that is within 125 cm; or 5. 150 cm if permafrost, densic, and paralithic contact are all below 125 cm 0 cm 0 cm 0 cm 30 cm permafrost 80 cm 60 cm permafrost densic or paralithic contact 140 cm Permafrost, densic, and paralithic contact CONTROL SECTION 0-85 cm CONTROL SECTION 0-105 cm CONTROL SECTION0-150 cm
