Custom Soil Resource Report <br /> Report—Component Text Descriptions <br /> Huerfano County Area, Colorado <br /> Map Unit: 57—Nunn clay loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes <br /> Description Category: GENSOIL <br /> Nunn: 90 percent <br /> The Nunn component makes up 90 percent of the map unit. Slopes are 0 to 3 <br /> percent. This component is on fan remnants on foothills. The parent material <br /> consists of old alluvium. Depth to a root restrictive layer is greater than 60 inches. <br /> The natural drainage class is well drained. Water movement in the most restrictive <br /> layer is moderately low.Available water to a depth of 60 inches (or restricted depth) <br /> is high. Shrink-swell potential is moderate. This soil is not flooded. It is not ponded. <br /> There is no zone of water saturation within a depth of 72 inches. Organic matter <br /> content in the surface horizon is about 2 percent. This component is in the <br /> R049BY202C0 Loamy Foothill ecological site. Nonirrigated land capability <br /> classification is 4c. Irrigated land capability classification is 3s. This soil does not <br /> meet hydric criteria. The calcium carbonate equivalent within 40 inches, typically, <br /> does not exceed 8 percent. The soil has a very slightly saline horizon within 30 <br /> inches of the soil surface. <br /> Description Category: Classification <br /> Noden: 10 percent <br /> The original taxonomic classification of this soil when first correlated in 1980 was: <br /> Fine-loamy, mixed, mesic Aridic Argiustolls <br /> Description Category: GENSOIL <br /> Noden: 10 percent <br /> Generated brief soil descriptions are created for major soil components. The Noden <br /> soil is a minor component. <br /> Map Unit: 84—Ustic Torriorthents-Rock outcrop complex, 5 to 40 percent slopes <br /> Description Category: GENSOIL <br /> 11 <br />
