Precipitation is fairly evenly distributed throughout the year with July and August being slightly <br />wetter and June being slightly dryer. <br />Frost-free period: 100 to 175 days <br />GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS: These are the Abra, Begay, Mivida, Rizno, Sazi, <br />Strvch, and Windwhistle soils. Abra soils lack an horizon of clay accumulation. Begay and Mivida <br />soils have coarse-loamy particle size control sections. Sazi and Windwhistle soils have bedrock at a <br />depth of 20 to 40 inches deep. Strych soils have more than 35 percent rock fragments in the particle <br />size control section. <br />DRAINAGE AND PERMEABILITY: well drained, negligible to high runoff, moderate or moderately <br />slow permeability <br />USE AND VEGETATION: These soils are used mainly for rangeland. The potential vegetation is <br />Indian ricegrass, galleta, Wyoming big sagebrush, and winterfat. <br />DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Southeast Utah and southwest Colorado. LRR D, MLRA 34, 35, 39. <br />This series is of moderate extent. <br />MLRA OFFICE RESPONSIBLE: Phoenix, Arizona <br />SERIES ESTABLISHED: Utah-Central Part, Grand County, Utah 1985. The name comes from the <br />Bar X wash. <br />REMARKS: Diagnostic horizons and features recognized in this pedon are: <br />ochric epipedon: The zone from 0 to 3 inches. (A) <br />argillic horizon: The zone from 9 to 36 inches. (Bti , Bt2, and Btk) <br />calcic horizon: The zone from 36 to 60 inches. (Bk1, Bk2, Bk3) <br />Particle size control section: The zone from 9 to 29 inches.
