Preface
The idea for this guide to the soils of Louisiana originated with Dr.
Bob Miller. Dr. Miller had prepared a brief guide to some of the major
soils of Louisiana for his soil pedology course. The guide consisted of
tables of the major soils in Louisiana arranged by soil area and taxonomic
classification. Dr. Amacher thought that the guide should be expanded
to include all the soils mapped in Louisiana and should be published in
some form to reach a wider audience. Thus, the idea for the current guide
was born. With the untimely death of Dr. Miller, it fell to the coauthors
to complete the task. This guide is dedicated to Dr. Bob Miller, whose
immense contributions to the study of Louisiana soils have made the job
of those who follow so much easier.
Introduction
Soil Areas
The soils of Louisiana are grouped into six major soil areas based on
landscape setting and parent material. Some major soil areas are divided
into subareas as well. The major soil areas used in this guide largely
follow those of Lytle (1968) and Lytle and Sturgis (1962), although this
is an updated version. Descriptions of the soil areas are given below.
Coastal Plain
The Coastal Plain soil area is found in the northcentral and western
regions of the state and in the northeastern part of the Florida parishes.
Coastal Plain soils are on uplands and developed primarily in Tertiary
age sediments, although Pleistocene age terrace soils along the Red River
are included in the Coastal Plain area. These soils are not on the active
Red River floodplain and do not fit into the other soil areas. Coastal Plain
soils are usually in forest or pasture, although some row crops are grown.
Coastal Plain soils are divided into eight subareas based on permeability
and parent material:
1-Upland soils with rapidly permeable subsoils developed in sandy
sediments
2-Upland soils with moderately permeable subsoils developed in
sandy and loamy sediments
3-Upland soils with slowly permeable subsoils developed in loamy
sediments
4-Upland soils with slowly permeable subsoils developed in acid
clays
5-Upland soils with slowly permeable subsoils developed in alkaline
clays (marl or chalk)
6-Upland soils with slowly permeable subsoils developed in ironrich clayey marine sediments high in siderite
7-Upland soils with slowly permeable subsoils developed in glauconitic sediments
8-Pleistocene age terrace soils with slowly permeable subsoils developed in clayey alluvium

Flatwoods
The Flatwoods soil area occurs on the Intermediate and Prairie Terraces. Flatwoods soils are typically on nearly level or depressional areas
and are usually poorly drained and have slow permeability. Vegetation
on Flatwoods soils is usually forest or pasture.
Coastal Prairie
The Coastal Prairie soil area is in the southwestern part of the state.
Coastal Prairie soils have slowly permeable subsoils, and the native vegetation was tall-grass prairie species. Rice and other row crops are not
grown on these soils.
loess Hills
Soils developed in loess (aeloian deposits with predominantly silt-sized
particles) are found in bands adjacent to the western side of the Mississippi
River floodplain and in a band adjacent to the eastern side of the Mississippi River floodplain extending into the Florida parishes. Loessial
soils have developed under three conditions: thick loess deposits, thin
deposits of loess over sediments, and mixtures of loess and underlying
sediments. Loess deposits have been identified predominantly on Pleistocene age terraces but are also recognized in other upland areas. Forest,
pasture, and row crops are the predominant vegetation. Detailed information on loess and loess-derived soils can be found in a guidebook by
Miller et al. (1986).
Recent Alluvium
Four major alluvial soil areas are recognized: Mississippi River; Red
River; Ouachita River (old Arkansas River channels included); and local
streams, rivers, and bayous. Within each major alluvial area, soils are
grouped according to whether they are found on the natural levees and
floodplains or in backswamp areas. A recent publication on Mississippi
River alluvial soils contains detailed information on these soils (Schumacher et al., 1988). Local stream alluvial soils are grouped into Coastal
Plain and Flatwoods stream alluvial soils, Loess Hill stream alluvial soils,
waterway spoil bank soils, and backswamp soils along local bayous.
Coastal Marsh
Coastal Marsh soils are grouped into the following categories primarily
based on landscape setting and salinity levels. These six categories are:
1-Beach and beach ridge soils
2-Saltwater marsh soils
3-Brackish marsh soils
4-Freshwater marsh soils
5-Drained marsh and swamp soils
6-Soils on waterway flats
