Two North Carolina Coastal Plain Catenas: I. Morphology and Fragipan Development1

W. D. Nettleton2, R. B. Daniels2 and R. J. McCracken3

ABSTRACT

Two soil catenas of the Coastal Plain of North Carolina were studied. The older catena formed in feldspathic sediments and the wetter members have fragipans and bisequal profiles. The younger catena formed in quartz-rich sediments and fragipans are absent in most soils. The younger catena has finer textured B horizons and thinner sola than comparable members of the older catena. The moderately well-drained members of the two catenas are similar.
