<br />Range al Characteristics: Winevada was described and sampled at six locations within the study area Iprolile description Sites 11, 13, 2fi, 38, 47, and 55). Soil padon descriptions were prepared at an additional 23 sites
<br />13, 29. 30, 31, 35, 37, 41, 43, 48, 49, 66, 70, 89, 93, 101, 107, 108. 109, 113, 115, 117, 122, and 1301. Topsoil salvages tlepths were also verified at 12 sites 17, 9, 13, 16. 18, 19, 21, 23, 24, 29. 34, and 351.
<br />All perimeters except texture, color, antl reaction of the A horizon are within the offinal range of characteristics. The A horizon has a value al 3 tp 5 dry, 2 to 4 moist. Tha texture is fine sandy loam, loam, sdt, loam, clay
<br />loam, or silty clay loam. The reaction is slightly acid or neutral. Dominant vegetation et the description sites inclutla oakbrush, snowberry, big sagebrush, serviceberry, chpkecherry, aspen, rocky mountain maple,
<br />rabbilbrush, antl slentler wheagrass.
<br />'Sail Prolile Description abbrewations are listed and described in USDA~SCS, 1974. The new designatipns for soil horizons antl layers (SCS 19811 are used in this rayon
<br />Series, and Soil Classification accordin8 to current SCS information. Soil classification based on Keys Io Soil Taxonomy, sixth edition ISOiI Survey Staff 19941.
