Interpretations for each soil use are based on a set of interpretative soil properties.
Abbreviated descriptions follow for the more commonly used interpretative soil properties.
Formal classes have been assigned to several of the interpretative soil properties. These classes generally are not given unless they are used in field morphological descriptions. All of the classes are in the National Soils Handbook of the Soil Conservation Service. Local conditions may dictate other interpretative soil properties or a greater emphasis on a subdivision of some of the interpretative properties here listed.
