CONSERVATION TREE/SHRUB GROUPS

INTRODUCTION

Each tree or shrub species has certain climatic and physiographic limits. Within these parameterstree/shrubs may be well or poorly suited because of climate, site and soil characteristics.Considering individual species performance under specified conditions of soil, climate,physiography, and management developed CTSGs, including: weed competition, moistureconservation, spacing, and arrangement.

This information provides guidance for selecting species best suited within each of the ten groupsof soils within each vegetative zone. It can also be used for predicting survival, height, growth,species attributes and effectiveness for the purpose of the planting. It can be used to selectplants for windbreaks, riparian plantings, recreation and wildlife plantings, ornamental orenvironmental plantings, reforestation, and critical area plantings.

All soil series mapped in the state have been placed with similar soils into one of the 10 CTSGs.Group 2 soils are further divided into subgroups. In addition, species listed in each CTSG arebroken down by vegetative zones (rainfall zones). Refer to the map "Nebraska Vegetative Zones,"found in Section I-Maps to determine the proper vegetative zone. Because vegetative zones arerather large, climatic differences within a zone should also be considered when recommendingspecies, i.e. some species adapted to the eastern end of a zone may be inadequately adapted tothe western end.

Care must be taken to ensure conditions on individual sites are considered when selecting speciessuitability and performance. A case by case decision may be necessary to determine whichCTSG group is most appropriate when an individual site has different characteristics than theCTSG it is listed in. This can occur because inclusions of other soils, site modifications (leveling,drainage manipulation, etc.), soil pH (calcareous sites), irrigation, soil amendments or otherdifferences.

The expected 20-year tree or shrub height and height/spread at maturity is listed in individualtables by CTSG and vegetative zone. This information should be used to determine thearrangement spacing and placement of tree/shrub plantings, area protected by windbreaks,species components, and effectiveness for the purpose, and other planting design considerations.

Named varieties of plants cooperatively released through the NRCS/USDA Plant MaterialsProgram have been listed in the tables. These varieties have proven superior and should be usedwhen they are available.

Space is provided on the front page of each Windbreak Suitability Group for listing of local soilsthat are applicable to each group and subgroup. District conservationists shall list individual soilmap unit symbols in the appropriate group/subgroup for their field office area.

CONSERVATION TREE/SHRUB GROUP 1

Description:

Soils in this group receive beneficial moisture from favorable landscape positions (flooding, runofffrom adjacent land), or they have a seasonal high water table from 3 to 5 feet during the growingseason. Soil depth is >40 inches to a restrictive layer and Available Water Capacity is >8inches within the top 5 feet. Some soils undergo frequent to occasional flooding for up to 2months during the growing season. Soil pH ranges from 5.6-7.8 with a few calcareous soils ofpH between 7.8 and 8.4.

Limitations:

These soils generally have few limitations and are some of the best soils for most tree/shrubspecies. Soils with high pH will have a limited choice of species that are adapted to the site.Competition from grass and weeds is the principal concern in establishment and management oftrees and shrubs.

Description:

Soils in this group have a seasonal high water table from 1.5 to 3 feet during the growingseason, or have saturated soils in the top 3 feet up to 3 months in a given year.

Limitations:

The degree and length of wetness, pH and drainage will have an affect on the selection of treeand shrub species for soils in this group.

Soils with a favorable seasonal high water table of 3 feet or greater are generally placed inCTSG 3 if they are loamy textured; and CTSG 5 if they are sandy textured. Soils that haveperched water tables and normally are in CTSG 4 are generally placed in CTSG 2. Because ofvariability in texture, and the extent of drainage, a case by case decision may be necessary todetermine which CTSG group is most appropriate.

Competition from grass and weeds is the principal concern in establishment and management oftrees and shrubs. Spring planting may be delayed because of wet conditions. Soil blowing is aconcern on the sandy soils.

Subgroup CTSG 2D - Drained phases of poorly drained sandy and loamy soils:(List soil map units for your county/field office area)

Subgroup CTSG 2S - Somewhat poorly drained sandy, silty, and loamy soils:(List soil map units for your county/field office area)

Subgroup CTSG 2W - Poorly drained clayey and silty soils:(List soil map units for your county/field office area)

Description:

Soils in this group are well-drained loamy and silty soils with moderate and moderately slowpermeability on uplands. These soils have a seasonal high water table of 5 feet during thegrowing season. Soil depth is >40 inches deep to a restrictive layer and Available WaterCapacity is >8 inches within the top 5 feet. Some soils undergo frequent to occasionalflooding for up to 2 months during the growing season. Soil pH ranges from 5.6-8.4 and as lowas 4.5 in a few soils.

Limitations:

CTSG 2 loamy soils that are drained so that the seasonal high water table is 3 feet or greaterare generally placed in this group. Because of variability in texture, and the extent of drainage,a case by case decision may be necessary to determine which CTSG is most appropriate forthese sites.

Competition from grass and weeds is the principal concern in establishment and management oftrees and shrubs on these soils. Water erosion is a concern on the gently sloping to moderatelysteep areas.

Description:

Soils in this group are moderately deep to deep, loamy and clayey soils with slow or veryslow permeability on uplands. These soils have a seasonal high water table greater than5 feet during the growing season. Soil depth is >20 inches to a restrictive layer andAvailable Water Capacity is >5 inches within the top 5 feet. Soil pH ranges from 4.5 toas high as 8.4 on some calcareous soils.

Limitations:

High clay content and drought tolerance have an effect on the selection of tree and shrubspecies for these soils. Competition from grass and weeds is the principal concern inestablishment and management of trees and shrubs. Water erosion is a concern ongently sloping to moderately steep areas.

Soils in this group that have perched water tables are generally appropriate for CTSG 2,because of excessive wetness.

Soils CTSG 4 (Slopes 17% or less) (List soil map units for your county/field officearea)

Description:

Soils in this group are excessively drained, sandy soils with a depth >40 inches to a restrictivelayer. The Available Water Capacity is as low as 2 inches within the top 5 feet. Soil pH rangesfrom 5.6-7.8 with a pH as low as 4.5 for coarse loamy soils on 9-17% slopes.

Limitations:

Drought conditions and soil blowing are the principal concerns in establishment andmanagement of trees and shrubs on these soils. Specialized site preparation and specializedplanting methods (vegetation between the rows is normally left undisturbed) are needed toestablish the trees and shrubs

Description:

Soils in this group are calcareous at or near the surface (0 to 12 inches) and do not receivebeneficial moisture from run-in, flooding or seasonal high water table. Soil depth is >40 inchesto a restrictive layer and Available Water Capacity is >8 inches within the top 5 feet. Soil pHranges from 6.5-8.4.

Limitations:

High calcium carbonate content and competition from grass and weeds are the principalconcerns in establishment and management of trees and shrubs on these soils. Water erosion isa concern on gently sloping to moderately steep areas.

Description:

Salinity and/or alkalinity affect soils in this group. These soils have a seasonal high water tablewithin 1.5 feet of the surface during the growing season. Soil depth is >20 inches to arestrictive layer and Available Water Capacity is >2 inches within the top 5 feet.

Limitations:

Concentrations of salt will severely affect the establishment, vigor and growth of trees andshrubs on these soils. Conifers should not be used on soils with a seasonal high water tablewithin 2 feet of the surface.

Trees and shrubs appear to be growing in Group 9 soils; however, the trees and shrubs areactually limited to the transition zone between the Group 9 soils and the adjacent groups or arerestricted to places where the site is slightly higher in elevation (increased depth to seasonalhigh water table) than the Group 9 soils.

Description:

Soils in this group have one or more limiting characteristics such as soil depth, texture,drainage, channeled phases, available water capacity, slope or salts which severely limitplanting, species selection, survival or growth of trees and shrubs.

Limitations:

Soils in this group are usually not recommended for tree/shrub planting practices such aswindbreaks or wildlife and recreation plantings. However, onsite investigations may reveal thattree and shrub plantings can be made with special treatments (hand planting, scalp planting,specialized site preparation, drainage, or other specialized treatments). The selection of speciesmust be tailored to the climate, soil, and site conditions. Specialized treatments and conditionsrequired must be documented on the planting plan.

All soils on slopes 17 percent or greater, soils that are generally too wet, too shallow, or haveother severely restrictive conditions, fall into group 10. Where an onsite investigation revealsthat a planting can be made on a soil mapping unit in group 10, species should be selected fromthe windbreak suitability group that the soil would most likely fall into. Local knowledge ofadapted species should also be taken into account.

For example, for a shallow soil over bedrock, trees or shrubs would be selected from group 6 orfrom group 2 for wet sites.

Soils WSG 10: (Includes soils on slopes of greater than 17%)
