Soil Map Unit 9The soils of Map Unit 9 occur mostly at the lower elevationsin the southern half of the study area,under fairly continuous treecover .These are well developed Podzolic soils with eluviated surfacehorizons and cemented B horizons .Classification :These soils are classified as Ortstein Ferro-Humic Podzols,although the Bhf horizon may not always satisfy the 10 cm minimum depthrequirement for such horizons . The lower B horizons are firmly cemented(ortstein layer) .Associated Map Units :Map Unit 9soils are often associated with bedrock outcrops(R) and lithic soil phases (Map Unit 10) . Map Unit 9 soils grade toMap Unit 8 soils as Ah horizons become thicker and Ae horizons disappear .Vegetation :Vegetation commonly consists of Abies lasiocarpa - Rhododendronalbiflorum dominated communities with Vaccinium membranaceum ,Luetkeapectinata and Phyllodoce emQetriformis often abundant .Pedon Description :Described by : L . KnapikDate : August 27, 1973Location : S-9Parent Material :tillLandform :moraine covered bedrock ridge
