Zohner soil series
A representative soil profile of the Zohner series. (Soil Survey of Teton Area, Idaho and Wyoming; by Carla B. Rebernak, Natural Resources Conservation Service)
The Zohner series consists of very deep, poorly drained soils that formed in mixed alluvium. Zohner soils are on flats and terraces on valley floors and the lower parts of fan remnants. Slopes are 0 to 2 percent. The mean annual precipitation is about 406 millimeters and the mean annual air temperature is about 5 degrees C.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine-loamy, carbonatic Calcic Cryaquolls
Mollic epipedon thickness: 18 to 46 cm
Depth to calcic: 5 to 13 cm
Depth to redoximorphic features (iron concentrations/depletions): 0 to 27 cm
Control section total clay: 20 to 40 percent
Control section carbonate clay: 2 to15 percent
Control section noncarbonate clay: 18 to 25 percent
Depth to sandy-skeletal material (3Bg or 3Cg horizon): 100 to 152 cm
Rock fragments: Where fragments are present, there are 15 to 30 percent gravel in the
particle size control section and 15 to 70 percent below the particle size control
section.
Soil reaction: Slightly alkaline to moderately alkaline
Mean annual soil temperature: 3.9 to 7.2 degrees C.
Mean summer soil temperature: 6.1 to 12.8 degrees C. cryic soil temperature regime
USE AND VEGETATION:
Major uses: Wet meadow pasture
Range/ecological site: R013XY039ID
Dominant native vegetation: Shrubby cinquefoil, slender wheat grass, baltic rush (and
other rushes), sedges, redtop, and scattered willows
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT:
Distribution: Eastern Idaho, MLRA 13
Extent: These soils are not extensive
