High Resoution Soil Survey of Capulin Volcano National Monument, New Mexico

摘要

A high resolution survey was conducted of surface soil samples at Capulin Volcano National Monument in Union County, New Mexico, USA. Composited grid samples were collected and processed for physicochemical data. Brief site descriptions were made at each sampling location. Departures from established USDA-NRCS SSURGO soils data were evaluated. Localized discrepancies in soil texture, slope class, elevation, and soil pH were identified in the data. A new soil map was constructed from data obtained inthis study.
