McCall soil and landscape
Soil profile: A representative soil profile of the McCall soil series. (Valley County, Idaho)
Landscape: McCall soils are mostly used for pasture or range. Vegetation is Idaho fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, mountain brome, snowberry, pine reedgrass, and lodgepole pine.
The McCall series consists of very deep, somewhat excessively drained soils that formed in moderately coarse and coarse textured cobbly and stony glacial till. McCall soils are on glacial moraines and have slopes of 5 to 50 percent. The average annual precipitation is about 25 inches and the mean annual air temperature is about 39 degrees F.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Loamy-skeletal, mixed, superactive Typic Humicryepts
Rock fragments range from 35 to 80 percent throughout the profile, and range from small angular or rounded pebbles to cobblestones and large stones. The soil is slightly or moderately acid. Base saturation is 40 to 50 percent in the epipedon. Mean annual soil temperature is 41 degrees to 43 degrees F.
USE AND VEGETATION: Used for pasture or range. Vegetation is Idaho fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, mountain brome, snowberry, pine reedgrass, and lodgepole pine.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Moraine area in the northern part of Long Valley, Valley County, Idaho. The series is inextensive.
