<br />'Literature Cited (I U).
<br />The system of soil classification stn rentlp used teas
<br />adopted by the National Couperatice Soil Survey in
<br />191ii. P.eaders interested in further details about the
<br />system should refer to the latest litertture available.
<br />The current system of classification has six cate-
<br />gories. Beginning ttith the broadest. these categories
<br />are the order, suborder, great group, subgroup, family,
<br />and series. Lt this system the differentiae used as a
<br />basis for classification are soil priiperlies that can be
<br />observed in the field, or that can be inferred either
<br />from other properties that arc observable in the field
<br />or from the combined data oC soil science and other
<br />disciplines.'1'he properties selected for the higher cate-
<br />gories are the result of soil genesis m~those that affect
<br />soil genesis. In table Fl, the soil series of the P.io Grande
<br />County Area are classified accm•ding to the current
<br />system.'I'he categories of this syst mare defined briefly
<br />in the follon'ing paragraphs.
<br />ORDER. Ten soil m•ders are r ognized. The differ-
<br />entiae are based on the kind and d gree of the dominant
<br />sets of soil-forming processes. Ea h order is identified
<br />by a «'ord of three m• four s}•Ilab es ending in sot. An
<br />example is i\'Iollisols.
<br />SUBORDER. )/aC}7 Ol'det' IS dl Ided Into sUb01'del'S
<br />based primarily on properties that influence soil genesis
<br />and are important to plant grot'th or on properties
<br />selected to reflect what seemed to e the most important
<br />variables within the order. Each uborder is identified
<br />by a n'ord of hco syllables. The 1st syllable indicates
<br />the order. An example is Aquoll (lqu, meaning ~+'ater,
<br />plus ol(, from Mollisols) .
<br />GREAT CROUP. Each suborder is divided into great
