JEVNE SERIES
The Jevne series consists of very deep, poorly drained soils formed in stratified glacial till on glacial lake plains. These soils have moderate permeability. Slopes range from 0 to 2 percent. Mean annual precipitation is about 27 inches. Mean annual air temperature is about 40 degrees F.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine-loamy, mixed, superactive, frigid Mollic Endoaqualfs
TYPICAL PEDON: Jevne fine sandy loam on a 1 percent slope in a till-floored lake plain in a hay field. (Colors are for moist soil unless otherwise noted.)
A--0 to 6 inches; very dark gray (10YR 3/1) fine sandy loam, gray (10YR 5/1) dry; weak fine granular structure; very friable; many fine and very fine roots; about 1 percent gravel and 1 percent cobbles; moderately acid; abrupt smooth boundary. (3 to 8 inches thick)
Eg1--6 to 11 inches; dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) fine sandy loam; dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) dry; weak thin platy structure; friable; few fine distinct yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) Fe concentrations; many fine roots; about 3 percent gravel; moderately acid; abrupt smooth boundary.
Eg2--11 to 19 inches; grayish brown (10YR 5/2) loam; light brownish gray (10YR 6/2) dry; weak medium platy structure; friable; common roots; common fine distinct dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) Fe concentrations; few remnants of Bt material in lower part of horizon; about 2 percent gravel; moderately acid; clear wavy boundary. (Combined thickness of the Eg horizons is 4 to 17 inches)
Btg1--19 to 26 inches; grayish brown (2.5Y 5/2) clay loam; light brownish gray (10YR 6/2) dry; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; firm; common distinct dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) clay films on faces of peds; common medium prominent yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) Fe concentrations; about 2 percent gravel; moderately acid; abrupt smooth boundary.
Btg2--26 to 31 inches; grayish brown (2.5Y 5/2) silt loam; weak coarse subangular blocky structure; friable; common distinct dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) clay films on faces of peds; many medium prominent strong brown (7.5YR 5/6) Fe concentrations; slightly acid; abrupt smooth boundary.
Btg3--31 to 43 inches; grayish brown (2.5Y 5/2) loam; weak coarse subangular blocky structure; friable; few faint dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) clay films on faces of peds; many medium prominent dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) Fe concentrations; about 2 percent gravel and 1 percent cobbles; slightly acid; abrupt smooth boundary. (Combined thickness of the Btg horizons is 12 to 30 inches.)
Cg1--43 to 52 inches; brown (10YR 5/3) stratified sandy loam and loamy sand; massive; friable; few fine faint grayish brown (10YR 5/2) redox depletions; slightly acid; abrupt smooth boundary.
Cg2--52 to 80 inches; brown (10YR 5/3) loam; massive; friable; common fine faint grayish brown (10YR 5/2) redox depletions; few large light gray (10YR 7/1) carbonate accumulations; about 2 percent gravel and 1 percent cobbles; strongly effervescent; slightly alkaline.
TYPE LOCATION: Aitkin County, Minnesota; about 1 mile south of Palisade, MN; 800 feet west and 100 feet north of the southeast corner of Sec. 27, T. 49 N., R. 25 W.; USGS Palisade quadrangle; latitude 46 degrees 41 minutes 47 seconds N. and longitude 93 degrees 29 minutes 17 seconds W.
RANGE IN CHARACTERISTICS: Depth to free carbonates ranges from 20 to 60 inches. Rock fragments in the series control section averages from 1 to 10 percent. Some pedons have stony surfaces.
Where present, Oa horizons have hue of 10YR, value of 2, and chroma of 1 or 2. It is comprised of well decomposed litter such as leaves, needles, twigs and moss.
The A or Ap horizons have hue of 10YR, value of 2 or 3, and chroma of 1 or 2. It is fine sandy loam, sandy loam, very fine sandy loam, silt loam or loam. It is strongly acid to neutral.
The Eg horizon has hue of 10YR or 2.5Y, value of 4 to 6, and chroma of 1 or 2. It is fine sandy loam, sandy loam, very fine sandy loam, silt loam, or loam. Some Eg horizons have thin subhorizons of loamy sand or loamy fine sand. It is strongly acid to slightly acid.
The Btg horizon has hue of 10YR, 2.5Y or 5Y, value of 4 to 6, and chroma of 1 or 2. It is clay loam, loam, sandy clay loam or silt loam. Some Btg horizons have thin subhorizons of silty clay loam, sandy loam, loamy sand, loamy fine sand or sand allowed in the range. It is moderately acid to neutral.
The Cg horizon has hue of 5Y to 10YR, value of 4 to 7, chroma of 1 to 4. It is typically stratified loam, clay loam, silty clay loam, sandy loam, loamy sand or sand. It is neutral to moderately alkaline.
COMPETING SERIES: These are in the
Egglake,
Talmoon and
Willosippi series. The Willosippi soils do not have rock fragments in the series control section. The Egglake and Talmoon soils are not stratified in the series control section.
GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: These soils formed in stratified glacial till on glacial lake plains. Slopes are 0 to 2 percent. Mean annual precipitation ranges from 24 to 28 inches. Mean annual air temperature ranges from 36 to 40 degrees F. Frost free days ranges from 88 to 120. Elevation ranges from 1200 to 1350 feet above sea level.
GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS: These are the poorly drained
Willosippi,
Talmoon and
Sandwick soils on landscapes similar as Jevne soils; and the very poorly drained
Hamre,
Northwood and
Cathro soils in shallow depressions.
DRAINAGE AND PERMEABILITY: Poorly drained. Runoff is low. Permeability is moderate. There is an apparent seasonal high water table at 0.5 to 1.5 feet at some time during November to June in most years.
USE AND VEGETATION: Native vegetation is water-tolerant trees, shrubs and grasses. Some areas of this soil have been cleared and are used for hay, pasture or grain crops. Most areas are wooded. Common trees are quaking aspen, American basswood, balsam fir and black ash.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: North central Minnesota, primarily Aitkin County. Inextensive.

REMARKS: Diagnostic horizons and features recognized in this pedon are: ochric epipedon - the zone from the surface to 19 inches (A, Eg1 and Eg2 horizons); albic horizon - the zone from 6 to 19 inches (Eg1 and Eg2 horizons); argillic horizon - the zone from 19 to 43 inches (Btg1, Btg2, Btg3); aquic soil moisture condition - low chroma redox matrix and high chroma redox concentrations immediately below the A horizon. 01/12/2011-TYPE LOCATION error was corrected.
ADDITIONAL DATA: Soil Interpretation Record number is MN0711. These soils were previously mapped as Talmoon, stratified substratum. This series was previously classified in the Mollic Ochraqualf subgroup.
