Deno soil and landscape
Soil profile: A typical profile of Deno ashy silt loam in an area of Rockly-Deno complex, 0 to 15 percent slopes. (Soil Survey of Spokane County, Washington; by Scott H. Bare, Natural Resources Conservation Service)
Landscape: Typical area of Rockly-Deno complex, 0 to 15 percent slopes. The Rockly soil is in foreground under rangeland ecological site R009XY301WA. Stiff sagebrush (Artemisia rigida) is the dominant shrub on the Rockly soil. The Deno soil is on mounds and supports rangeland ecological site R009XY102WA.
Landscape--channeled scablands
Landform--mounds on basalt plateaus
Slope--0 to 15 percent
Parent material--loess mixed with volcanic ash in upper part over basalt; minor amount of glaciofluvial deposits in lower part of some pedons
Mean annual precipitation--about 430 mm
Mean annual air temperature--about 9 degrees C
Depth class--deep
Drainage--well drained
Soil moisture regime--xeric
Soil temperature regime--mesic
Soil moisture subclass--typic
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Coarse-loamy, mixed, superactive, mesic Vitrandic Haploxerolls
USE AND VEGETATION:
Use--dominantly homesite development, crop production, and livestock grazing; some wildlife habitat and watershed
Common crops--small grain, hay, pasture
Potential natural vegetation--basin wildrye, common snowberry, Idaho fescue, bluebunch wheatgrass, Sandberg bluegrass, Wyeth eriogonum, common yarrow, lupine, rose, threadleaf sedge
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Eastern Washington; MLRA 9; small extent. The Ritter series appears to be very similar to this series. It should be investigated further to determine vitrandic features.
