Effective Soil Depth definition
Effective Soil Depth means the depth of soil material above a layer that impedes movement of water and air and growth of plant roots. Layers that differ from overlying soil material enough to limit effective soil depth are hardpans, claypans, fragipans, compacted soil, bedrock, saprolite, and clayey soil.
Effective Soil Depth means the depth of slightly or moderately limited soil material lying above a restrictive soil layer such as clay, hardpan, or bedrock.
Effective Soil Depth. - means the depth of soil material above a layer that impedes movement of water, air, and growth of plant roots. Layers that differ from overlying soil material enough to limit effective soil depth are hardpans, claypans, fragipans, compacted soil, bedrock, saprolite, and clayey soil. Soils exhibiting average percolation rates slower than 240 mpi are not considered "effective soils."
