The spatial variability of urban soils can vary greatly as a result of human disturbance. The objective of this study was to characterize the physical and chemical properties of soils collected from established (>10 years) residential yards. Seventeen soil cores were collected to a depth of 122 cm from seventeen yards in Osprey, FL. Soil horizons were described. Additional topsoil (0-20 cm) composite samples were collected from each yard and analyzed for selected physical and chemical properties, including bulk density, Mehlich 3 extractable nutrients, extractable N and total Kehldahl N.
