 The Greenlee series consists of very deep, well drained, moderately rapidly permeable soils on benches, fans, and foot slopes in coves in the Southern
Appalachian Mountains. They formed in colluvium and alluvium derived from materials weathered from felsic to mafic, high-grade metamorphic and igneous
rocks such as granite, granite gneiss, mica gneiss, hornblende gneiss, and schist. Near the type location, the mean annual air temperature is about 55 degrees
F., and the mean annual precipitation is about 54 inches. Slope ranges from 6 to 80 percent.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Loamy-skeletal, mixed, semiactive, mesic Typic Dystrudepts
