Umbraquult
Coastal Plain of North Carolina

These soils typically form in marine deposits or alluvium in areas where the water table is close to the surface. These are the wettest of the Aquults and the argillic horizon is generally more weakly expressed as a result. Gleyed colors in the subsoil are indicative of a seasonal high water table. The high water table limits the suitability of these soils for most uses.
