In order to form features:
• must have anaerobic conditions (reduced and saturated)
• must have Fe and/or Mn (electron acceptor)
• must have microbes (bugs)
• must have carbon (food for the bugs)

Redoximorphic Features
• Redox concentrations – zone where Fe - Mn oxides have accumulated
• Redox depletions – zone where of Fe – Mn oxide have been stripped out
• Reduced matrix – low chroma matrix that changes color when exposed to air

Concepts of Wetlands, Hydric Soils, and
Wetland Hydrology
![Page 19: Redoximorphic Features and Hydric Soils](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815af2550346895dc8ae6b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What is a wetland?
![Page 20: Redoximorphic Features and Hydric Soils](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815af2550346895dc8ae6b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Wetland Definition (as defined by FSA Manual and
COE 1987 Manual)
• has wetland hydrology
• has a predominance of hydrophytic vegetation
• the presence of hydric soil
![Page 21: Redoximorphic Features and Hydric Soils](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815af2550346895dc8ae6b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Wetland hydrology occurs when:
• the water table is at or near the surface (12 inches) and,
• present for at least 5 percent (consecutive) of the growing season.

Determining Wetland Hydrology
![Page 23: Redoximorphic Features and Hydric Soils](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815af2550346895dc8ae6b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Determining the Growing Season
• Use NRCS County Soil Survey for beginning and end dates
• Determine number of days in season
• Multiply by 0.05
• Usually between 12 and 14 days in this region
![Page 24: Redoximorphic Features and Hydric Soils](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815af2550346895dc8ae6b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Definition of Hydric Soil
A hydric soil is a soil that formed under conditions of saturation,
flooding, or ponding long enough during the growing season to
develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part
![Page 25: Redoximorphic Features and Hydric Soils](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815af2550346895dc8ae6b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Field Indicators of Hydric Soils
Field indicators of hydric soils are designed for on-site identification of
hydric soils
![Page 26: Redoximorphic Features and Hydric Soils](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815af2550346895dc8ae6b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
