From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In geology, claypan is a subsoil layer. It is typically found 15 to 60 cm below the soil surface. [1] Compared with the layer above, the clay content of the claypan layer suddenly increases by a high amount. The dense structure restricts root growth and water infiltration. Therefore, a perched water table might form on top of the claypan.[2] Claypan presents in a wide area of the central US (about 4 million ha) across multiple provinces such as Kansas, Oklahoma, and Illinois.
