SOIL SURVEY

-73-Landform and Parent Material sThe Dennis soilscape group occurs on lacustrine veneer or blankets ove rmorainal deposits . The materials are calcareous, well sorted silts with few or nocoarse fragments . Where the contact between lacustrine till occurs within a mete rof the surface, coarse fragments are often evident within the lacustrine material .EnvironmentThe Dennis soilscape group occurs on well drained sites along the sides o fthe major valleys within the montane vegetative zone, and a few small areas in th elarger side valleys within the subalpine vegetative zone .DS 1 Map Unit (Degraded Eutric Brunisols )This map unit is characterized by soils found on lacustrine parent materials .These soils are medium textured, have few or no coarse fragments and are generall ywell drained .Table 18.
