Snyderville soil series
A representative soil profile of the Snyderville series in Idaho.
The Snyderville series consists of very deep, well drained soils that formed in alluvium or outwash derived from quartzite and sedimentary rocks. Snyderville soils are on stream terraces, outwash terraces, and fan remnants. Slopes range from 0 to 20 percent. Mean annual precipitation is about 18 inches and the mean annual temperature is about 44 degrees F.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Loamy-skeletal, mixed, superactive, frigid Pachic Argixerolls
Soil moisture regime: Xeric; dry for 45 to 60 days following the summer solstice
Mean annual soil temperature: 42 to 47 degrees F.
Mean summer soil temperature: 58 to 65 degrees F.
Surface rock fragments: 15 to 35 percent
Depth to lithic contact: Greater than 60 inches
Thickness of the mollic epipedon: 20 to 36 inches
Particle-size control section (weighted average):
Clay content: 22 to 27 percent
USE AND VEGETATION: The major use is livestock grazing. Native vegetation is mountain big sagebrush, wheatgrasses, bitterbrush and snowberry. In Utah the ecological site is Mountain Stony Loam (Mountain Big Sagebrush).
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: North central Utah and southestern Idaho. LRR B and E, MLRA 13 and 47. This series is of moderate extent.
