Amor soil series
The Amor series consists of well drained, moderately permeable soils that are moderately deep to soft sandstone bedrock. They formed in material weathered from stratified soft sandstone, siltstone and mudstone. These soils are on uplands and have slopes of 0 to 25 percent. Mean annual temperature is 42 degrees F, and mean annual air precipitation is 15 inches.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine-loamy, mixed, superactive, frigid Typic Haplustolls
Depth to soft sandstone typically is 30 to 40 inches but ranges from 20 to 40 inches. Depth to carbonates ranges from 10 to 40 inches. The 10- to 40-inch control section averages 15 to 40 percent fine sand and coarser. Stony phases are recognized.
USE AND VEGETATION: Commonly cropped to small grains, flax, corn, hay and grass in a crop summer fallow rotation. Native vegetation is mid and short prairie grasses such as green needlegrass, needleandthread, western wheatgrass and blue grama.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Southwestern North Dakota, northwestern South Dakota, and eastern Montana. The series is of large extent.
