Description: Subaqueous (permanently submerged) soils are defined as having “a field observable water table 2 centimeters or more above the soil surface for more than 21 hours of each day in all years.” Dr. George Demas conducted research in Sinepuxent Bay, Maryland where he proved that these soils undergo the 4 major soil forming processes of additions, losses, transfers and translocations / transformations. Dr. Demas’ research helped pave the way for current subaqueous soil survey mapping and inventory projects. USDA – NRCS recently had the tremendous opportunity to continue subaqueous soil survey inventory and mapping in Barnegat Bay, New Jersey. The Barnegat Bay project was recently completed and the focus of this presentation is to present our final project and findings for this subaqueous soil survey in New Jersey.
