Official Series Description

Lab Data Summary

Aggregate lab data for the CHAWANAKEE soil series. This aggregation is based on all pedons with a current taxon name of CHAWANAKEE, and applied along 1-cm thick depth slices. Solid lines are the slice-wise median, bounded on either side by the interval defined by the slice-wise 5th and 95th percentiles. The median is the value that splits the data in half. Five percent of the data are less than the 5th percentile, and five percent of the data are greater than the 95th percentile. Values along the right hand side y-axis describe the proportion of pedon data that contribute to aggregate values at this depth. For example, a value of "90%" at 25cm means that 90% of the pedons correlated to CHAWANAKEE were used in the calculation. Source: KSSL snapshot (updated 2020-03-13).

Water Balance

Monthly water balance estimated using a leaky-bucket style model for the CHAWANAKEE soil series. Monthly precipitation (PPT) and potential evapotranspiration (PET) have been estimated from the 50th percentile of gridded values (PRISM 1981-2010) overlapping with the extent of SSURGO map units containing each series as a major component. Monthly PET values were estimated using the method of Thornthwaite (1948). These (and other) climatic parameters are calculated with each SSURGO refresh and provided by the fetchOSD function of the soilDB package. Representative water storage values (“AWC” in the figures) were derived from SSURGO by taking the 50th percentile of profile-total water storage (sum[awc_r * horizon thickness]) for each soil series. Note that this representation of “water storage” is based on the average ability of most plants to extract soil water between 15 bar (“permanent wilting point”) and 1/3 bar (“field capacity”) matric potential. Soil moisture state can be roughly interpreted as “dry” when storage is depleted, “moist” when storage is between 0mm and AWC, and “wet” when there is a surplus. Clearly there are a lot of assumptions baked into this kind of monthly water balance. This is still a work in progress.

Sibling Summary

Siblings are those soil series that occur together in map units, in this case with the CHAWANAKEE series. Sketches are arranged according to their subgroup-level taxonomic structure.

Geomorphic description summaries for the CHAWANAKEE series and siblings. Series are sorted according to hierarchical clustering of proportions and relative hydrologic position within an idealized landform (e.g. top to bottom). Most soil series (SSURGO components) are associated with a hillslope position and one or more landform-specific positions: hills, mountain slopes, terraces, and/or flats. Proportions can be interpreted as an aggregate representation of geomorphic membership. The values printed to the left (number of component records) and right (Shannon entropy) of stacked bars can be used to judge the reliability of trends. Small Shannon entropy values suggest relatively consistent geomorphic association, while larger values suggest lack thereof. Source: SSURGO component records (updated 2023-10-04).

There are insufficient data to create the 3D flats position figure.

Competing Series

Soil series competing with CHAWANAKEE share the same family level classification in Soil Taxonomy. Source: parsed OSD records (updated 2023-10-02) and snapshot of the SC database (updated 2023-10-02).

Geomorphic description summaries for the CHAWANAKEE series and competing. Series are sorted according to hierarchical clustering of proportions and relative hydrologic position within an idealized landform (e.g. top to bottom).

The values printed to the left (number of component records) and right (Shannon entropy) of stacked bars can be used to judge the reliability of trends. Shannon entropy values close to 0 represent soil series with relatively consistent geomorphic association, while values close to 1 suggest lack thereof.

Block Diagrams

1. CA-2012-05-08-06 | Butte Area, Parts of Butte and Plumas Counties - 2006

   Block diagram 5.—This diagram shows the relationships between the Cascade volcanic flows and the metamorphic and granitic Sierra Nevada rocks. The flatter volcanic flows on the left buried the folded metamorphic rocks in the middle. The uniform intrusive igneous rocks weather to soils that are less resistant to geologic erosion and produce subtle, more evenly developed relief (Soil Survey of Butte Area, California, Parts of Butte and Plumas Counties; 2006).

2. CA-2012-05-08-08 | Butte Area, Parts of Butte and Plumas Counties - 2006

   Block diagram 7.—This diagram shows a series of glacial moraines. Early glaciers scoured and partially removed the original volcanic flows and produced glacial till derived mostly from volcanic rocks. Subsequent glaciers formed on the exposed underlying pluton and produced glacial till derived mostly from intrusive igneous rocks (Soil Survey of Butte Area, California, Parts of Butte and Plumas Counties; 2006).
