The Post Oak Savannah has an abrupt texture change: loose sandy loam over a dense, slowly permeable claypan. SSURGO mapping shows Gladewater, Hearne, Weswood, and Zack series in the mapped area, with Alfisols, Vertisols, and Entisols. The thin sandy crust gives way to saturated, soupy clay, and equipment can rut and sink through it. Water perches above the claypan in wet seasons, so pad cuts take on water after rain. Clay swells in wet months and cracks when dry, so the cracks open and close with the seasons. Brazos River floodplain sites lie in low ground that floods. Oak and pine root zones lie in the topsoil and hold roots and debris. Tertiary sandy and clayey coastal plain sediments make up the parent material.
