BC--56 to 70 inches; reddish yellow (5YR 6/6) fine sandy loam in about 75 percent of the volume, and red (2.5YR 4/6) sandy clay loam in a mixed pattern in about 21 percent of the volume; weak medium subangular blocky structure; very friable; thin patchy clay films on faces of peds and bridging sand grains; skeletans or pockets of clean sand grains occupy about 4 percent of the volume; strongly acid.
TYPE LOCATION: Wagoner County, Oklahoma; about 2 miles southwest of Coweta; 1,000 feet west and 100 feet south of the northeast corner of sec. 26, T. 17 N., R. 15 E.
RANGE IN CHARACTERISTICS: Thickness of solum is more than 60 inches. Thickness of the A horizon ranges from 8 to 20 inches.
The A horizon or Ap horizon has hue of 7.5YR or 10YR, value of 4 or 5, and chroma of 2 to 4. The E horizon has hue of 7.5YR or 10YR, value of 5 or 6, and chroma of 3 to 6. The A horizon is fine sandy loam or loamy fine sand. It ranges from neutral to strongly acid.
The Bt horizon has hue of 2.5YR or 5YR, value of 3 to 5, and chroma of 4 to 8. It is sandy clay loam or clay loam, and is slightly acid or strongly acid.
The BC horizon has hue of 7.5YR, value of 5, and chroma of 6 to 8 or hue of 2.5YR or 5YR, value of 4 to 6, and chroma of 6 to 8. It is fine sandy loam, loam, or sandy clay loam and ranges from slightly acid to very strongly acid. Skeletans or pockets of clean sand grains comprise about 1 to 4 percent of the volume.
COMPETING SERIES: These are the
Macon soils of the same family and the
Attoyac,
Atwood, Calendonia,
Elrose,
Karma,
Konawa,
Lexington,
Petal,
Poindexter, and
Sallisaw series. Attoyac, Calendonia, Elrose, and Petal soils are siliceous and have an average temperature regime of 64 degrees F. or more. Atwood and Lexington soils are fine-silty. Karma, Konawa, and Poindexter soils have an argillic horizon that decreases in clay by more than 20 percent from the maximum at a depth of 1.5 meters. Also, Konawa soils have an ustic moisture regime. Macon soils have an average temperature regime of 64 degrees F. or more. Sallisaw soils are siliceous and contain gravel in the argillic horizon.
GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: These are very gently sloping to moderately steep soils on high terraces. Slope gradients are mostly 3 to 8 percent but range from 1 to 20 percent. Kamie soils formed in loamy and sandy sediments. The climate is warm and humid. Mean annual precipitation ranges from 37 to 46 inches. Mean annual temperature ranges from 59 to 64 degrees F. Thornthwaite P-E indices are more than 64.
GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS: These are the competing Karma and Sallisaw series and the Glenpool, Larton, Muskogee, Okay, and Vian soils. Glenpool and Larton soils are usually on slightly lower terraces and have a thicker A horizon. Karma soils are on lower terraces. Muskogee, Okay, and Vian soils are on nearby landscapes. Muskogee and Vian soils are fine-silty and have gray mottles in the upper part of the argillic horizon. Okay soils have a mollic epipedon. Sallisaw soils are on lower terraces of local streams.
DRAINAGE AND PERMEABILITY: The Kamie soils are well drained. Runoff is slow to medium and permeability is moderate.
USE AND VEGETATION: Principal use is tame pasture or forest. Small areas are cultivated and used for grain sorghums, peaches, melons, and other vegetable crops. Forest consists of mixed hardwoods, mainly red oak. Tame pasture is primarily bermudagrass.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Eastern Oklahoma. Possibly western Arkansas, Louisiana, and northeastern Texas. The series is of moderate extent.
