Hymas soil series
The Hymas series consists of shallow, well drained soils that formed in residuum and colluvium from limestone. The Hymas soils are on mountainsides, ridges or uplands. Slopes are 10 to 75 percent. The mean annual precipitation is about 13 inches and the mean annual temperature is about 44 degrees F.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Loamy-skeletal, carbonatic, frigid Lithic Haploxerolls
Soil moisture - Moist in late fall, winter and spring; dry from late June through September.
Soil temperature - 42 to 47 degrees F.
Average summer soil temperature - 59 to 66 degrees F.
Mollic epipedon thickness - 7 to 14 inches.
Depth to bedrock - 10 to 20 inches.
Control section
Clay content: 8 to 27 percent.
Rock fragments: 35 to 80 percent dominantly angular fragments of limestone.
DRAINAGE AND PERMEABILITY: Well drained; medium or rapid runoff; moderate permeability.
USE AND VEGETATION: Rangeland and wildlife habitat. The present vegetation is mainly big sagebrush, cheatgrass, phlox, bluebunch wheatgrass, Sandberg bluegrass, rabbitbrush and bitterbrush.
