412 - BALLEIQOCK OUTCROP COMPLEX 15 W slopes VIIs-1 Drvland <br /> This complex consists of strongly sloping to steep soils on ridges and <br /> "hogbacks". It is abodt 50% Baller stony sandy loam and about 30% Rock <br /> outcrop. This soil consists of shallow, well drained soils . These soils <br /> are on uplands and are underlain by bedrock at a depth of 10-20 inches . <br /> Mean annual precipitation ranges from 15-17 inches , mean annual air temp- <br /> erature ranges from 470 to 49' F, and the frost-free season ranges from <br /> 135-150 days . <br /> The Surface layer is dark grayish brown stony sandy Loam about 6 inches <br /> thick. The subsurface layer is dark grayish brown very 5tony sandy laom <br /> about 5 inches thick. Below this is hard sandstone. <br /> Permeability is moderately rapid , and the available Ovate capacity is <br /> low. Reaction is neutral. These soils are used for native grasses . <br /> Included with this complex in mapping is about 20 percen Carnero soils <br /> and areas of soils that are similar to the Baller soil bit that has a clayey <br /> subsoil . The Carnero series consists of moderately deep well drained <br /> soils . Permeability is moderately_slow, and the availab a water capacity <br /> is_ medium. Reaction is neutral. <br /> Runoff is medium to rapid, and the hazard of water erosi n is moderate to <br /> severe. Deep hullies are in some areas . <br /> This soil is suited to native grasses . Scattered stands of ponderosa pine <br /> are in a few areas . <br />
