Rock fragments (mainly sandstone channers) range from 0 to 35 percent. The fine-earth <br /> fraction is dominately sandy loam with 5 to 18 percent clay. Profile reaction is neutral through moderately alkaline, and is calcareous throughout. Profile <br /> hue is 2.5Y through 7.5YR. Associated vegetation at the sample site includes sage, grasses, cheat grass, prickley pear, and rabbitbrush. <br /> Pinon MU:1E, SN:23 Loamy, mixed, mesic Lithic Ustollic Calciorthid <br /> v� <br /> N <br /> A 0-3 Channery 7.5YR 5/4 7.5YR 4/4 M F GR SO-SH VFR SS/NP Com F, VF 20% ES, Mild Alk CS <br /> SL over & Few CO, M (pH 7.7) <br /> MMPL <br /> Bk1 & Bk2 3-12 SL 7.5YR 7/4,6/4 7.5YR 5/5 M M SBK SH FR SS/NP Few F, VF 8% EV, Mild Alk GW Calcic <br /> over (pH 7.8) horizon <br /> Massive <br /> R 12-26 shaly Sandstone <br /> Ran a of Characteristics: Pinon was described at eight locations on the study area (profile description numbers #22, 23, 38, 45, 62, 63, 64, and 67. Average <br /> soil depth a ove t_Fe­_sFa`ly sandstone bedrock is 13 inches. Average depth until the carbonate accumulation zone is encountered is four inches. Rock fragments <br /> CD range from 0 to 35 percent. Clay percent in the fine-earth fraction was slightly less than typical (18 to 30%). Calcium carbonate percent in the Bk horizon <br /> <, was also slightly less than typical. Profile colors are within the range of characteristics for the Pinon series.
