• Texture: very fine sandy loam, fine sandy loam, sandy clay loam, loam, sandy loam, Gay loam, or silt loam
<br />Rock fragments: 0 to 35 percent gravel and cobbles
<br />Calcium carbonate equivalent: 15 to 45 percent
<br />Reaction: moderately to very strongly alkaline
<br />COMPETING SERIES: These are the Hiland and Solirec series. Hiland soils have less than 15 percent carbonates
<br />in the celcic horizon. Solirec soils are in MLRA 34 and receive maximum precipitation in spring and fall. Similar soils
<br />and previousty competing series are (Ustic Haplargids) Bowback, Cambria, Cushman, Decolney, Forkwood, Fort,
<br />Maysdorf, Pugsley, Teckla, Yenlo and (Ustollic Haplargids) Baton, Buckle, Cerrillos, Clovis, Fattig, Femando, Flaco,
<br />Gadder, Gapbutte, Hagerman, Harboard, Los Alamos, Millett, Oelop, Olney, Palacid, Penistaja, Pokemen, Potts,
<br />Progresso, Quagwa, Redpen, Scholle, Selpats, Spangler, Spenlo, Sundance, Tapia, Threetop, Toluca, and
<br />Tuweep. Only Cerrillos, Clovis, Femando, Millett, Scholle, Tapia, Toluca, and Tuweep soils are reclassified to
<br />Calciargids under the 7th Edition. Cerrillos soils are dryest from OGober to May. Clovis soils receive more than half
<br />of their precipitation between the months of July and OGOber. Femando soils contain 50 to 80 percent silt in the
<br />solum and are in MLRA 51. Millett soils contain 25 to 75 percent gravel and cobbles in the lower part of the solum.
<br />Scholle soils contain 15 to 35 percent gravel in the control section. Tapia soils contain caliche fragments in the Bt
<br />and Bk horizons. Toluca soils are in MLRA 58A and are yellower than 5YR throughout. Tuweep soils are yellower
<br />than 5YR and formed in alluvium from pyrodastics and basalt.
