Abstract:

Large numbers of "slickspots," which usually support short grasses in a tall grass area, are found in soils of north central Oklahoma. Soil samples, taken from a typical area 30 miles west of Pawhuska, Osage County, were analyzed for sodium content. Resulting data, together with vegetation differences, were used to locate sampling pedons for further study. Ground water levels in sampling sites were noted, and water samples were analyzed for cation and anion content. Nitrates were found to be within the level normally permissible for drinking water; sodium and bicarbonates accounted for most of the dissolved solids.
