14a-Brycan clay loam, 0 to 9 percent slopes. This deep well <br />drained soil is in stream bottoms and on alluvial floodplains of major <br />drainage courses. It formed in alluvial material derived from sedimen- <br />tary sources. Slopes are concave. This unit is elongated in shape and <br />is 38 acres in size. The vegetation is mainly shrubs, fortis and <br />grasses. Elevation ranges from 6100 to 6200 feet. The average annual <br />precipitation is about 14 inches and the mean annual air temperature is <br />about 42°F. <br />Typically the surface Layer is Sark grayish brown clay loam about <br />17 inches thick. The substratum which is lithologically discontinuous <br />is brown and yellowish brown clay loam and loam extending to a depth of <br />greater than 60 inches. <br />Included in this unit are about 5 percent Savage soils, about 5 <br />percent fine-loamy, mixed Fluventic Haploborolls and about S percent <br />coarse-loamy, mixed Aridic Hap loborolls of map unit 41. <br />Permeability of the Brycan soil is moderate as is available water <br />capacity. Effective rooting depth is greater than 60 inches. Runoff is <br />medium to slow and the hazard of erosion by both water and wind is <br />slight. <br />This map unit is used for grazing and wildlife Habitat. <br />The soils of this map unit provide a fair source of topsoil to an <br />average depth of 17 inches. Clayey textures are the major limitation. <br />i <br />2-267 <br />
