Ecological site group description
Key Characteristics
- Coconino Transition (C)
- Soil at site is basalt or clayey.
- Site soils are ustic aridic or within a 10-14" precipitation zone.
- Site is and/or located in an upland with slopes <15%.
Provisional. A provisional ecological site description has undergone quality control and quality assurance review. It contains a working state and transition model and enough information to identify the ecological site.
Physiography
Site is and/or located in an upland with slopes <15%. Aspects tend to be northeast except valleys near Truxton Wash and Aubrey Valley.
Climate
Site soils are ustic aridic or within a 10-14" precipitation zone. Precipitation comes predominantly from monsoonal patterns during months of July, August, and September. Winter precipitation is equally predominant in the northern half of the LRU.
Soil features
Parent material is basalt. Soils are clayey or clay loam. Site consists of limited amounts of gently sloping sheet alluvial or eolian deposits over residuum of plateaus and structural benches.
