Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of
Kim, Olney, and Ildefonso soils that have slopes of 6 to
I12 percent. These areas make up 10 to 15 percent of
the map unit.
Permeability is moderate, and available water capacity
is high. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more.
ISurface runoff is medium, and the erosion hazard is
severe.
This soil is used mainly for grazing, wildlife habitat, and
I
some dryland farming (fig. 10). Wheat, barley, and oats
are grown.
Minimum contour tillage and stubble mulching help to
prevent excessive erosion.
IThe native vegetation on this soil is mainly wheat -
grass, needleandthread, and sagebrush.
When range condition deteriorates, forbs and shrubs
increase. When the range is in poor condition, undesira-
Ible weeds and annual plants are numerous. Properly
managing grazing improves and maintains range condi-
tion. Reducing brush improves range. Seeding improves
Irange in poor condition. Crested wheatgrass, western
wheatgrass, and Russian wildrye are suitable for seed-.
ing. Preparing a seedbed and drilling the seed are good
practices.
'Community development and recreation are limited by
low strength, shrink -swell potential, and slope. Dwellings
and roads can be designed to overcome these limita-
tions. Community sewage systems will be needed if the
Ipopulation density increases.
This soil is in capability subclass IVe, irrigated and
nonirrigated.

58—Potts-Ildefonso complex, 12 to 25 percent
slopes. These strongly sloping to hilly soils are on
mesas, alluvial fans, and sides of valleys. Elevation
ranges from 5,000 to 6,500 feet. The Potts soil formed in
alluvium derived from sandstone, shale, or basalt. The
Illdefonso soil formed in very strongly calcareous, basaltic
alluvium and small amounts of eolian material. The aver-
age annual precipitation is about 14 inches, the average
1
1
-annual-air temperature Is ,about 46 degrees F, and the
average frost -free period is about 120 days.
The Potts soil makes up about 60 percent of this unit,
and the Ildefonso soil makes up about 30 percent. The
Potts soil is in slightly concave positions, and the Ilde-
fonso soil is on the breaks of steeper slopes.
The Potts soil is deep and well drained. Typically, the
surface layer is brown loam about 4 inches thick. The
subsoil is reddish brown clay loam about 24 inches thick.
The substratum is pinkish white loam to a depth of 60
inches.
Permeability of the Potts soil is moderate, and availa-
ble water capacity is high. Effective rooting depth is 60
inches or more. Surface runoff is medium, and the ero-
sion hazard is moderate.
The Ildefonso soil is deep and well drained. Typically,
the surface layer is brown stony loam about 8 inches
thick. The underlying material is white, calcareous very
stony loam to a depth of 60 inches.
Permeability of the Ildefonso soil is moderately rapid,
and available water capacity is low. Effective rooting
depth is about 60 inches. Surface runoff is medium, and
the erosion hazard is moderate.
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of
Marva! and Lazear soils. The Morvaf soils are at the
higher elevations. The Lazear soils are shallow and are
on ridge crests and steep mountainsides. These areas
make up 10 to 18 percent of the map unit.
These soils are used mainly for limited grazing and
wildlife habitat.
The native vegetation on the Potts soil is mainly
wheatgrass, needleandthread, and sagebrush. The
native vegetation on the Ildefonso soil is mainly pinyon
and Utah juniper and an understory of Indian ricegrass,
wheatgrass, junegrass, serviceberry, bitterbrush, and sa-
gebrush.
When the understory vegetation deteriorates, grasses
almost disappear and forbs and shrubs increase. Proper-
ly managing grazing maintains and improves range con-
dition on both soils. Seeding improves range in poor
condition in less sloping areas of the Potts soil. Blue -
bunch wheatgrass, western wheatgrass, and need-
leandthread are suitable for seeding. Preparing the
seedbed and drilling the seed are good practices. Con-
trolling brush on the Potts soil improves range that is
producing more shrubs than are normally found in the
potential plant community. Properly managing the under -
story vegetation on the Ildefonso soil maintains wood
production and grazing. Selectively thinning pinyon and
juniper improves grazing and provides firewood, posts,
and Christmas trees.
The Ildefonso soil is suited to production of pinyon and
Utah juniper. It can produce 9 cords of wood per acre
when trees more than 4.5 feet tall reach an average
diameter (at one foot) of 5 inches. The low available
water capacity affects survival of tree seedlings.
Mule deer, wild turkey, chukar, gray squirrel, cottontail
rabbit, and some pheasant find habitat on these soils.
The steep slopes limit community development. Struc-
tures are needed to divert runoff to minimize gullying and
erosion.
This complex is in capability subclass Vle, nonirrigated.
