HAGENBARTH SERIES
The Hagenbarth series consists of and very deep, well drained soils formed in colluvium and slope alluvium from quartzite, basalt, and tuff. Hagenbarth soils are on mountains and hills and have slopes of 1 to 60 percent. The mean annual precipitation is about 580 mm and the mean annual air temperature is about 3.3 degrees C.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine-loamy, mixed, superactive Pachic Argicryolls
TYPICAL PEDON: Hagenbarth gravelly loam on a toeslope with 1 percent slope at an elevation of 1,990 meters. (Colors are for dry soil unless otherwise noted.)
