Official Series Description

Lab Data Summary

Aggregate lab data for the RIVERVIEW soil series. This aggregation is based on all pedons with a current taxon name of RIVERVIEW, and applied along 1-cm thick depth slices. Solid lines are the slice-wise median, bounded on either side by the interval defined by the slice-wise 5th and 95th percentiles. The median is the value that splits the data in half. Five percent of the data are less than the 5th percentile, and five percent of the data are greater than the 95th percentile. Values along the right hand side y-axis describe the proportion of pedon data that contribute to aggregate values at this depth. For example, a value of "90%" at 25cm means that 90% of the pedons correlated to RIVERVIEW were used in the calculation. Source: KSSL snapshot (updated 2020-03-18).

Water Balance

Monthly water balance estimated using a leaky-bucket style model for the RIVERVIEW soil series. Monthly precipitation (PPT) and potential evapotranspiration (PET) have been estimated from the 50th percentile of gridded values (PRISM 1981-2010) overlapping with the extent of SSURGO map units containing each series as a major component. Monthly PET values were estimated using the method of Thornthwaite (1948). These (and other) climatic parameters are calculated with each SSURGO refresh and provided by the fetchOSD function of the soilDB package. Representative water storage values (“AWC” in the figures) were derived from SSURGO by taking the 50th percentile of profile-total water storage (sum[awc_r * horizon thickness]) for each soil series. Note that this representation of “water storage” is based on the average ability of most plants to extract soil water between 15 bar (“permanent wilting point”) and 1/3 bar (“field capacity”) matric potential. Soil moisture state can be roughly interpreted as “dry” when storage is depleted, “moist” when storage is between 0mm and AWC, and “wet” when there is a surplus. Clearly there are a lot of assumptions baked into this kind of monthly water balance. This is still a work in progress.

Sibling Summary

Siblings are those soil series that occur together in map units, in this case with the RIVERVIEW series. Sketches are arranged according to their subgroup-level taxonomic structure.

Geomorphic description summaries for the RIVERVIEW series and siblings. Series are sorted according to hierarchical clustering of proportions and relative hydrologic position within an idealized landform (e.g. top to bottom). Most soil series (SSURGO components) are associated with a hillslope position and one or more landform-specific positions: hills, mountain slopes, terraces, and/or flats. Proportions can be interpreted as an aggregate representation of geomorphic membership. The values printed to the left (number of component records) and right (Shannon entropy) of stacked bars can be used to judge the reliability of trends. Small Shannon entropy values suggest relatively consistent geomorphic association, while larger values suggest lack thereof. Source: SSURGO component records (updated 2024-10-23).

There are insufficient data to create the 3D mountains figure.

Competing Series

Soil series competing with RIVERVIEW share the same family level classification in Soil Taxonomy. Source: parsed OSD records (updated 2024-10-23) and snapshot of the SC database (updated 2024-10-23).

Most soil series (SSURGO components) are associated with a hillslope position and one or more landform-specific positions: hills, mountain slopes, terraces, and/or flats. The values printed to the left (number of component records) and right (Shannon entropy) of stacked bars can be used to judge the reliability of trends. Shannon entropy values close to 0 represent soil series with relatively consistent geomorphic association, while values close to 1 suggest lack thereof.

1. NC-2012-02-07-30 | Lincoln County - January 1995

   Relationship of soils, parent material, and seasonal high water table in the Chewacla-Riverview general soil map unit (Soil Survey of Lincoln County, North Carolina; January 1995).

2. NC-2012-02-07-38 | Polk County - 1998

   The relationship between soils, landscape, and parent material in the Pacolet-Madison-Rion general soil map unit. The clayey Pacolet, Madison, and Cecil soils occur on ridgetops. The loamy Rion, Grover, and Ashlar soils are on the adjacent side slopes (Soil Survey of Polk County, North Carolina; 1998).

3. NC-2012-02-07-39 | Polk County - 1998

   The relationship between soils, landscape, and parent material in the Riverview-Chewacla-Buncombe general soil map unit. The Buncombe soils are in convex areas adjacent to the stream channel; the Chewacla soils are in the lower, concave areas further from the channel; and the Riverview soils occur in the remaining areas of the flood plain. The clayey Masada, Dogue, and Roanoke soils are on the higher stream terraces (Soil Survey of Polk County, North Carolina; 1998).
