Ecological site group description
Key Characteristics
- Canon Seboyeta. This LRU subset drains eastward toward the Acoma Valley, and is confined to Cretaceous sedimentary parent materials. It is bounded to the west by the Mt. Taylor Volcanic field, to the north by a watershed divide, and to the east and south by a break between Cretaceous and Jurassic strata.
- Site occurs on landforms that are concave in one or more dimensions, and receive extra moisture from runoff, throughflow, or discharge in the landscape.
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
Run-on sites in bottomlands positions.
Mostly marine shales from Cretaceous or Tertiary deposits. Westernmost extent of the San Juan Basin, adjacent to the Rio Grande Rift and in the Rio watershed.
Soil features
Deeper soils, susceptible to gully formation. Slight to moderate salinity and sodicity, secondary carbonates.
