Juanalo soil series
A representative soil profile of the Juanalo series. (Soil Survey of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Arizona and Utah; by Michael W. Burney, Natural Resources Conservation Service)
The Juanalo series consists of shallow, well drained soils that formed in residuum derived from limestone. Juanalo soils are on mesas and structural benches. Slopes range from 1 to 6 percent. Mean annual precipitation is about 9 inches and the mean annual temperature is about 56 degrees F.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Loamy, mixed, superactive, calcareous, mesic Lithic Torriorthents
Soil moisture: Typic aridic moisture regime.
Mean annual soil temperature: 54 to 58 degrees F
Depth to lithic contact: 10 to 20 inches to Juana Lopez limestone
Depth to cambic horizon: 1 to 4 inches
Particle-size control section (weighted average):
Clay content: 18 to 35 percent
Rock fragments: 0 to 35 percent
USE AND VEGETATION: Rangeland. Native vegetation is galleta, alkali sacaton saltbush, fringed sage and cactus.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Southwest Colorado; MLRA 35; minor extent.
