The Boone series consists of excessively drained soils which are moderately deep to a paralithic contact with sandstone on hills in bedrock controlled uplands.
Permeability is rapid in the sandy mantle and moderately slow or moderate in the sandstone.
Slopes range from 0 to 70 percent. Mean annual precipitation is about 30 inches. Mean annual temperature is about 49 degrees F near the type location. Depth to the paralithic contact with sandstone bedrock ranges from 20 to 40 inches. Volume of sandstone channers ranges from 0 to 15 percent as a weighted average in the sandy mantle but ranges up to 35 percent in individual subhorizons in some pedons.
