Updates to the Field Indicators of Hydric Soils
The National Technical Committee for Hydric Soils just published an updated set of errata for The Field Indicators of Hydric Soils, version 7.0. We have already incorporated those updates into our mobile Hydric Soil Web App.
So, what’s new…
Two recently approved Indicators
F22. Very Shallow Dark Surface
S12. Barrier Islands 1 cm Muck
One new Test Indicator
TS7. Barrier Islands Low Chroma Matrix
In addition, a clarification was made to the wording in Indicators A11. Depleted Below Dark Surface and A12. Thick Dark Surface emphasizing that the dark surface needs to occur in the upper 6 inches (15 cm). The full set of changes can be viewed in the errata document.
We will be featuring these changes and updates in our upcoming 3 part webinar series “Digging into the Hydric Soil Indicators”.
