Assignment 6

 

Spatial Averaging Soil Properties using Comppct:

 

 

This shows the NM963 soils selected from the nm polygon layer. This soil has 8 components. The names of the components are Regnier, Latom, Rock Outcrop, Los Tanos, and Gallen.  There are three components of Regnier, and two components of Latom.  The Regnier components make up 27, 7, and 2 percent of the map unit for a total of 36 percent.  The Latom components make up 27 and 5 percent for a total of 32 percent.  The Rock Outcrop makes up 18 percent.  The Los Tanos makes up 12 percent, and Gallen makes up 2 percent.  The predominant surface slope for the Regnier components is 3-15.  The predominant surface slope for Latom is 1-15.  The slopes for Rock Outcrop, Los Tanos and Gallen are 0-99, 0-5, and 2-5, respectively.  The dominant soil textures are CL, GR, and FSL. 0% of the soil is in hydrologic soil group A, 2% in B, 12% in C, and 86% in D. The soil is located near a river so there would be sand and clay in the floodplain and gravel where the river has high energy.

 

Vertically Integrating Soil Properties Over the Layers:

 

I related the mapunit table to the comp table and the comp table to the layer table.  Corresponding components and layers were highlighted for NM 963.

 

NM 963 1 (Regnier) has 3 layers.  NM 963 2 (Latom) has 2 layers. NM 963 3 (Rock Outcrop) has 1 layer.  NM 963 4 (Los Tanos) has 3 layers. NM 963 5 (Regnier) has 3 layers. NM 963 6 (Latom) has 2 layers. NM 963 7 (Regnier) has 3 layers. NM 963 8 (Gallen) has 4 layers.

Land Use

 

I imported Ft. Sumner and Santa Fe 1:250,000 USGS Quad land use files from the RGIS files.  I classified the symbology by “LUCODE” and changed the labels and colors to match the symbology classification for each of the Ft. Sumner and Santa Fe files.  Then I merged the two land use files. After I merged the files, I intersected the merged file with the pecos soils file.  I changed the symbology of the pecos soils file to match the land use symbology and created a layout that shows the land use for the Pecos hydrologic unit.
