E1~vation ranges from 6,500-8,000 feet. <br /> <br />Average annual precipitation is 15-20 inches; moisture regime is ustic. <br /> <br />Average annual soil temperature is less than 470F but the summer temperature <br /> <br />is less than 59'F, frigid; frost-free season is 90-110 days., <br /> <br />The association has about 55 percent Typic Pa1eboro11s, 35 percent <br /> <br />Boro11ic Camborthids, and 10 percent of unidentified minor soils; these <br /> <br />soils are located in the central part of Routt County near Steamboat <br /> <br />Springs. <br /> <br />Typic Paleboro11s are deep, well-drained soils on clayey sedimentary <br /> <br />rocks, Typically they have a dark-colored, clayey surface layer, Al horizon, <br /> <br />7-20 inches thick. The next layer is light-colored, A2 horizon, overlying <br />a clayey B12t horizon that consists of thick clay films on ped surfaces <br /> <br />extending 60 inches or more to weathered shale bedrock. Permeability is <br /> <br />slow; effective root depth is 60 inches+. Available water capacity is <br /> <br />high; surface runoff is medium anq erosion hazard moderate, <br /> <br />Borol1ic Camborthids are deep, well-drained soils on clayey sedimentary <br /> <br />rocks, Typically they have a dark-colored, clayey surface layer, Al horizon, <br /> <br />about 7 inches thick. The subsoil, 10-40 inch layer, B2 horizon, is a <br /> <br />light-colored, clayey soil material extending from 40-60 inches; substratum <br /> <br />is soft shale bedrock. <br /> <br /> <br />VU.22 <br />
