The map unit descriptions, along <br /> with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit. <br /> A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more <br /> major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named <br /> according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic <br /> class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the <br /> landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the <br /> characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some <br /> observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. <br /> Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without <br /> including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made <br /> up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor <br /> components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils. <br /> Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the <br /> map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called <br /> noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a <br /> particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties <br /> and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different <br /> management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They <br /> generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the <br /> scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas <br /> are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a <br /> given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit <br /> descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor <br /> components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not <br /> mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it <br /> 11 <br />
