SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE <br />SOIL DATA SHEET <br />Rp -- Rock outcrop, stony and gravelly soils. <br />This mapping unit consists mainly of rock outcrop on very steep <br />slopes, canyon slopes, cliffs, and steep mesa edges. Included <br />in mapping are minor areas of stony and gravelly soils and small <br />areas of shallow and very shallow soils. <br />The plant cover ranges from little or none to a few trees, <br />shrubs, forbs, and grass. <br />The areas are used mainly as wildlife habitat. Because of the <br />slopes, excessive runoff and erosion are major management <br />concerns. Maximum protection of the existing plant cover helps <br />to slow runoff and protect the areas from further erosion. <br />Capability unit VIIIs-1; not placed in a range site. <br />14 <br />
