• loam about 16 inches thick. The substratum to a depth of 60+ inches is <br />sandy clay loam. The slope is 2 to 9 percent. The soil is mildly <br />alkaline to a depth of 21 inches and moderately alkaline below that depth. <br />The depth to calcareous and moderately alkaline material is grater than <br />40 inches in some areas immediately adjacent to the Wet Mountains. <br />Permeability is moderate. Available water capacity is high. Runoff is <br />slow to medium and the hazard of erosion is slight to high. The potential <br />plant community is mainly grassland. The area is used for rangeland. <br /># 126 Wetmore - Bundo, drv - Rock Outcrop complex. This mapping unit, <br />found on steep canyon sides, contains about 40 percent Wetmore soil, 30 <br />percent Bundo dry soil, and 20 percent Rock outcrop. The Wetmore soil is <br />mainly on south-facing side-slopes. It is a shallow, well drained soil <br />formed in residuum derived mainly from gneiss and granite. Slope, is 35 <br />to 65 percent. Typically, the subsurface layer is very pale brown, sandy <br />loam about 3 inches thick. The subsoil is very gravelly sandy loam about <br />• 7 inches thick. Hard fractured gneiss is at a depth of 10 inches. The <br /> soil is slightly acid. Permeability is rapid. Available water capacity <br /> is very low. Runoff is rapid and the danger of erosion is very high. The <br /> potential plant community is ponderosa pine with an understory of mountain <br /> mahogany, Gambel's oak, and grasses. The Bundo - dry soil, found on north <br /> facing side slopes is a deep, well drained soil formed in colluvium <br /> derived mainly from granite. Slope is 35 to 65 percent. Typically, the <br /> surface layer is light brownish gray, very sandy loam about 8 inches thick <br /> over light gray, extremely gravelly sandy loam about 18 inches thick. The <br /> subsoil has a composite texture of extremely gravelly sandy clay loam and <br /> is about 19 inches thick. The substratum to a depth of 60+ inches is <br /> extremely gravelly sandy loam. The soil is neutral to a depth of 45 <br /> inches and slightly acid below that depth. Permeability is moderate. <br /> Available water capacity is low, runoff is very rapid and the danger of <br /> erosion is very high. The potential plant community is primarily Douglas <br /> fir with an understory of evergreen shrubs and grasses. Rock outcrops <br /> consist of gneiss or granite forming short cliffs and crags about 20 to <br />• 75 feet high. Slope is 35 to 75 percent. The unit is used for wildlife <br /> habitat, watershed, and recreation. <br />2.04.9-14 <br />
