6. fine-loamy,
mixed, superactive Typic Haplocryalf
This soil is
found in southeastern Idaho at higher elevations. Parent material is loess overlying limestone
residuum. Leaching is facilitated by the cool, moist climate and has moved calcium
carbonate to considerable depth. This has allowed clay to move and accumulate in the argillic Bt horizons. Textures are silt loam in the E horizon and silty clay loam in the Bt horizons.
These
are not productive agricultural soils because of
the short growing season. Primary land uses are timber production and watershed; however, some
land is also used for livestock grazing.
