properties in the Mapunit and Component Tables:
1.
How many components does it have? 8
2.
What are their names? Regnier, Latom, Rock Outcrop, Los
Tanos, Gallen
3.
What
percentage of the map unit does each component comprise?
3.1.
Regnier 27%
3.2.
Latom 27%
3.3.
Rock
Outcrop 18%
3.4.
Los
Tanos 12%
3.5.
Regnier
7%
3.6.
Latom
5%
3.7.
Regnier
2%
3.8.
Gallen
2%
4.
What is the predominant
surface slope where this soil unit is found? Around 15%
5.
What is the dominant soil
texture? Fine
sandy loam
6.
What percentage of the
soil is in hydrologic soil groups A 0%, B 12.5%, C - 12.5%, D 75%?

1.
How many layers does each
component have?
2.
What is the total soil
depth (inches) for each layer and the average depth
(inches) for the map unit?
3.
What is the total water
holding capacity (inches of water) over the full soil depth for each component?
4. What is the average water holding capacity (inches of water) for soils in this map unit?

Layout showing soil type
Layout showing land use:
I found Land
Use data for Santa Fe and Fort Sumner on the RGIS website, but it did not have
LUCODE, rather a GRID CODE and was separated into east and west halves, looks
roughly equivalent; successfully merged and then clipped.
Unable to intesect land use and
soil.
