Permeability is moPerately <br />slow to rapid, Runoff is slow to rapid, and the erosion <br />hazard in alight to high. Available water capacity is <br />low to high. The effective rooting depth is 10 to E~0 <br />inches or more. <br />These soils are used as range and as habitat for wild- <br />life. They are suited to permanent vegetation. Suit- <br />able grasses are bigh bluestem, little bluestem, nee:dle- <br />• Rrass, and aide-oats grams. Proper management of re~nge <br />is necessary, To maintain the vigor of the grasses and <br />to reduce erosion, no more than half of the current years <br />growth should be grazed.
