Moderately deep to deep stone-filled sandy loams to light _ `.,f <br /> clay loams, very dark brown in color. Permeability is <br /> <br />- _ <br />moderate; but water holding capacity is reduced due to -. <br />' stone dilution. The profile is usually noncalcareous ~ ` <br /> throughout. The surface is frequently stony. Soil-plant- <br /> water relationships are fair to good. The abundance of <br /> stones in the profile acts to make soil water more readily <br /> available for plant use in a given volume of soil. <br /> b. Soils in this site are: ~e~^~,•-~ C~.
