Flatwood is a soil series with impaired drainage that occurs in the southeastern United States.
Flatwood soils are upland soils formed from marine sediments.
A shallow water table plays a role in soil formation; typically the water table is only a few feet deep and fluctuates during the year.
[1] Flatwood soils are classified in USDA soil taxonomy as fine, mixed, semiactive, mesic Aquic Hapludults.
