Bailey soil series
The Bailey series consists of very deep, well drained soils formed in colluvium derived from rhyolite and tuff with loess influence. Bailey soils are on canyon walls and have slopes of 4 to 80 percent. The mean annual precipitation is about 430 mm and the mean annual air temperature is about 7.5 degrees C.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Loamy-skeletal, mixed, superactive, frigid Calcic Haploxerolls
USE AND VEGETATION:
Major uses: rangeland and wildlife habitat
Dominant native vegetation: Mountain big sagebrush, bluebunch wheatgrass, Idaho fescue, mountain brome, arrowleaf balsamroot
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT:
Distribution: Southeastern Idaho and Western Wyoming, MLRA 13
Extent: the series is not extensive
