These soils are generally saturated or wet for the major part of the year. Dark
grey, brown and black colours are common and can include sands, loams
and clays. Wet soils are commonly found in swamps and areas where the
watertable sits close to the surface such as seasonally wet duplex soils, and
the Swan Coastal Plain. pH ranges between neutral (pH7) and acid (pH<5).
Wetting soils are often linked to ‘Acid Sulphate Soils’ (ASS), as the water
table moves up and down through the soil profile allowing the iron sulphides
in the soil to become oxidized and form sulphuric acid.
