sandy, siliceous, thermic Aeric Alaquod
(Leon series)

These soils are extensive on the lower Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plains from Maryland to Alabama. They occupy depressional areas, stream terraces, or broad, flat areas where the water table is close to the suface. Because of the high water table, these soils are used mainly for forestry and grazing. Where artificial drainage is possible, they are used for production of potatoes, corn, and other vegetables. Natural vegetation is longleaf and slash pines, water oaks, and myrtle.
