<br />103 - Embry sandy loam, 3 to 10 percent slopes. <br />The Embry soil is deep and well-drained. It developed <br />from sandstone and shale alluvium. Small areas of Table <br />Mountain Taxajunct soils, shallow and moderately deep <br />Torriorthents and Fort Collins Variant soils were included <br />in mapping. Table Mountain Taxajunct soils are more developed <br />with higher organic matter content. Torriorthents soils are <br />shallower to bedrock. Fort Collins Variant soils are more <br />highly developed and have more coarse fragments in the lower <br />profile. <br />In a typical profile, the surface layer is pa).e brown <br />sandy loam about 6 inches thick. The upper substratum is <br />• 'Drown loam about 12 inches thick. The lower substratum is <br />brown to pale brown sandy loam to sandy clay loam about 42 <br />inches thick and is underlain with sandy shale. <br />The Embry soil has moderate permeability and medium <br />runoff. The erosion hazard is moderate. Available water <br />holding capacity is high. Effective rooting .depth is 40 <br />to 60 inches. <br />This soil is used for livestock grazing and wildlife <br />habitat. The vegetation is primarily blue grama, western <br />wheatgrass, rabbitbrush and other grasses. <br />The average depth of •_' `A~ i <br />~:`'~This material is rated fair to good with suitability <br />• decreasing with depth. <br />
