2.04.9 <br />• RESPONSE continued <br /> Pachic Cryoborolls <br /> These soils have a thick mollic epipedon. They are permitted <br /> but are not required to have mottles and seasonal ground water <br /> at some depth, but these properties are rare. Most of these <br /> soils in the United States have moderate to very strong slopes. <br /> Their present vegetation may be either coniferous forests or <br /> grasses. Their main use is for summer grazing (1). <br /> The Starman soil series is the only soil within the permit area <br /> that does not belong to the soil order Mollisol. <br /> The Starman soil series belongs to the soil order Entisol. <br /> Entisols <br /> The central concept of Entisols is that of soils that have little or <br /> no evidence of development of pedogenic horizons. Many En- <br />• ti <br />h <br />i <br />l <br />h <br />i <br />d <br />d <br />f <br />h <br />h <br />i <br /> so <br />ave an oc <br />s <br />r <br />c ep <br />pe <br />on an <br />a <br />ew <br />ave an ant <br />rop <br />c <br /> epipedon. <br /> Entisols may have any moisture or temperature regime, parent <br /> material, vegetation, orage, but not a combination of a pergelic <br /> temperature regime and an aquic or paraquic moisture regime. <br /> The (aquic) only features common to all soils of the order are <br /> the virtual absence of horizons and the mineral nature of the <br /> soil. <br /> The Starman soil series belongs to the Cryorthent great group. <br /> Cryorthents <br /> These are the Orthents of high mountains or high latitudes. <br /> The coldest of them have a pergelic soil temperature regime. <br /> Most of them are on slopes where rock is shallow or in recent <br /> solifluction deposits. These cold dry soils have a thin efflor- <br />• escence of salt on the surface during summer and may be dry in <br />
