I. MAP 1

1. Describe the NM963 soil in terms of its properties in the Mapunit and Component Tables.

Regnier-Latom-Rock OUTCROP (NM 963)

2. How many components does it have?

5

3. What are their names?

Regnier

Latom

Rock Outcrop

Los Tanos

Gallen

4. What percentage of the map unit does each component comprise?

1. Regnier (1) 27%

2. Latom (2) 27%

3. Rock Outcrop 18%

4. Los Tanos 12%

5. Regnier (5) 2%

6. Latom (6) 5%

7. Regnier (7) 2%

8. Gallen 2%

5. What is the predominant surface slope where this soil unit is found?

99 SLOPEH

6.What is the dominant soil texture?

FSL

7.What percentage of the soil is in hydrologic soil groups A, B, C, D?

A:0, B:2, C:12, D:86

8.Do these soil properties make sense considering where this soil is located?

Yes it does, because we are in a very dry area where there is not much filtration.

MAP 2

1. For mapunit NM963, how many layers does each component have?

Component	Layers
1.   Regnier (1) 27%	3
2.   Latom (2) 27%	2
3.   Rock Outcrop 18%	1
4.   Los Tanos 12%	3
5.   Regnier (5) 2%	2
6.   Latom (6) 5%	2
7.   Regnier (7) 2%	3
8. Gallen 2%	4

2. What is the total soil depth (inches) for each layer and the average depth (inches) for the map unit?

Table 1.

So the Avg. Depth would be 29.2 inches under Avg. Depth of Table 1.

3. What is the total water holding capacity (inches of water) over the full soil depth for each component?

It is described under the column TAWC of Table 2.

Table No. 2

4. What is the average water holding capacity (inches of water) for soils in this map unit?

It is 1.87 as it is described under the total AWHC in Table 2 (previous).
