Custom Soil Resource Report <br /> Soil properites were predominantly based on field estimates, professional judgment, <br /> and guidelines. Lab data from the area was used to determine low and high values. <br /> Description Category: GENSOIL <br /> Travessilla: 3 percent <br /> Generated brief soil descriptions are created for major soil components. The <br /> Travessilla soil is a minor component. <br /> Description Category: properties <br /> Travessilla: 3 percent <br /> Soil properties were predominantly based on field estimates, professional <br /> judgement, and guidelines except for Sum of Bases. Information in this table came <br /> from laboratory data. CCE information was derived from local laboratory analysis. <br /> Description Category: GENSOIL <br /> Chicosa: 2 percent <br /> Generated brief soil descriptions are created for major soil components. The <br /> Chicosa soil is a minor component. <br /> Land Classifications <br /> This folder contains a collection of tabular reports that present a variety of soil <br /> groupings. The reports (tables) include all selected map units and components for <br /> each map unit. Land classifications are specified land use and management <br /> groupings that are assigned to soil areas because combinations of soil have similar <br /> behavior for specified practices. Most are based on soil properties and other factors <br /> that directly influence the specific use of the soil. Example classifications include <br /> ecological site classification, farmland classification, irrigated and nonirrigated land <br /> capability classification, and hydric rating. <br /> Land Capability Classification <br /> The land capability classification of map units in the survey area is shown in this <br /> table. This classification shows, in a general way, the suitability of soils for most <br /> kinds of field crops (United States Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation <br /> Service, 1961). Crops that require special management are excluded. The soils are <br /> grouped according to their limitations for field crops, the risk of damage if they are <br /> used for crops, and the way they respond to management. The criteria used in <br /> grouping the soils do not include major and generally expensive landforming that <br /> would change slope, depth, or other characteristics of the soils, nor do they include <br /> possible but unlikely major reclamation projects. Capability classification is not a <br /> substitute for interpretations designed to show suitability and limitations of groups of <br /> soils for rangeland, for forestland, or for engineering purposes. <br /> 44 <br />
