17A.2 Soil Chemical and Physical Properties for Sampled Sites of the Local Study Area

The following tables list the soil characteristics and physical and chemical properties for soil samples sites (Figures 17-2 to 17-4). The sites are listed by transect, from west to east.

Note on chemistry data: Total exchangeable cations (TEC) are calculated by adding together the amounts of individual cations. It is common to find soils with TEC higher than their cation exchange capacity (CEC). An ammonium acetate solution is used to displace exchangeable cations before measurement. Many of the soils in the local study area contained gypsum which dissolves in ammonium acetate solution resulting in percent base saturation values greater than 100 percent. The percentage base saturation = 100* TEC/CEC.
