Soil Map Unit 10Map Unit 10 soils have a lithic (bedrock) contact within50 cm of the soil surface . Soils of this unit may occur on the crestsof bedrock masses or on extremely sloping land surfaces .Classification :These soils are generally Lithic Humo-Ferric Podzols althoughthere isa fair degree of profile variation .Ah, Ahe, or Ae horizonsmay be present and B horizons differ in their amount of podzolicmorphology and may or may not extend to the lithic contact .Associated MaR Units :The most commonly associated Map Units are 8 and 9,alongwith bedrock outcrops (R) .Map Unit 10 soils are the undifferentiatedlithic phases of Map Units 8 and 9 .Vegetation :Plant communities are quite variable with Abies lasiocarpa ,Rhododendron albiflorum , Luetkea pectinata , Arnica latifolia and variousbryophytes being common .Pedon.
