The solum is 20 to 40 inches thick although <br /> with the inclusion of the IN, calcic horizon it can be thicker. The Bk calcic horizon is at a depth ranging from 16 to 54 inches. The profile has 0 to 15 <br /> percent rock fragments. If unplowed, the surface horizon is usually leached of carbonates. The Bt particle-size control section has 18 to 34 percent <br /> clay. Profile hue is IOYR, 7.5YR, SYR, 2.5YR or 2.5Y. The A horizon has value of 4 to 6 dry, and chromas of 3 to 6. It is neutral through moderately <br /> alkaline. The Bt and Btk horizons have value of 3 to 7.5 dry and moist and chroma of 3 to 6. Textures are dominanely sandy clay loam or loam. Reaction <br /> is mildly to moderately alkaline and is noncalcareous to strongly calcareous in the Bt argillic horizon and is strongly to very strongly calcareous in the <br /> Bk calcic horizon. Calcium carbonate equivalent in the calcic horizon is 15 to 37 percent. The C horizon substratum has a hue of 7.5YR, SYR, or 2.5Y, <br /> value of 4 to 6 dry and moist, and chrome of 2 to 6. Textures are dominantly sandy clay loam or sandy loam. Reaction is mildly to moderately alkaline <br /> and is strongly to very strongly calcareous. Sample sites A7, 26, and 58 we,e in irrigated fields, whereas A10 was located in a ver, old orchard and, <br /> according to the landowner, had not ever been plowed. As a result, sample site e10 more closely approximates the native Barx soil Ur.'. n hed by plowing <br /> 0 or other surface disturbance. Associated vegetation at the sample site 07 consists of irrigated crops, at /26 and 58 irrigated hay It, ,as, and at A10 of <br /> orchard trees and native grasses. <br />
