permeability of the Redcameron soil ~s moderate. Available water <br />capacity ~s very low. Effective rooting depth is 4 to 20 inches. <br />Runoff is rapid, and the hazard of water erosion ~s very high. <br />Roc k.outerop an west-facing slopes consists of narrow bands and <br />ledges of sandstone and some siltstone. On east-facing slopes, ~t .s <br />inclined planes of resistant sandstone. Slope is 30 to 70 percent. <br />The Teaspoon soil is shallow and well drained. It formed in <br />residuum with a thin mantle of alluvium derived dominantly from <br />sandstone. Slope is 20 to 50 percent. Typically, the surface i~ayer <br />is brown very stony sandy loam about 3 inches thick. Tha subsoil ~s <br />e:<tremely channery sandy loam about 5 inches thick. Hard sandstone is <br />at a depth of 8 ruches. The soil is neutral. <br />Permeability of the Teaspoon soil is moderate. Available water <br />capacity is very law. Effective rooting depth is 10 to 20 inches. <br />`/ Runoff ~s rapid, and the hazard of water erosion is very high. <br />This unit is used mainly for noncommercial woodland and wildlife <br />habitat. It is also used for livestock grazing. Slope limits access <br />by livestock and results in overgrazing of the lass sloping areas. <br />The potential plant community is mainly pinyon and juniper and an <br />understory of blue grama, Scribner needlegrass, 5idaoats grama, and <br />true mountainmahogany. If the condition of the understory <br />deteriorates, blue grama, red threeawn, and undesirable fortis <br />increase. Th• potential production of the native understory <br />vegetation ~n normal years is about 200 pounds of air-dry vegetation <br />per acre. <br />~5 <br />
