13. Haploxeroll
landscape
Latah Co., ID
This sloping landscape is
characteristic of the Palouse region of eastern Washington and northern
Idaho. Soils in these landscapes are formed in extremely thick deposits
(>100 ft) of wind-blown loess. These soils have a high water
holding capacity and high native fertility, making them very productive
soils for dryland wheat production. However, soils are also highly
susceptible to both wind and water erosion. Conservation tillage
and high residue management systems have increasingly come into
use in the Palouse region, in an attempt to slow the loss of valuable
topsoil from agricultural fields. For more information about conservation
practices in the Pacific Northwest, visit http://pnwsteep.wsu.edu. |
