Management Considerations:
Whole Profile
- Plant available water capacity (PAWC) is considered to be low/medium (estimated at 100 mm) in the upper 80 cm of this soil profile. Effective rooting depth (ERD) is restricted to 80 cm due to the basalt below this depth.
- Profile described by Richard MacEwan & Mark Imhof, June 2000.
