Argixeroll landscape
Nez Perce Co., ID

Soils formed on these steep basalt canyons are generally shallow to bedrock, but are well developed due to the long-term stability of the landscape. These soils support an Idaho fescue/bluebunch wheatgrass habitat and are used primarily for grazing. The shallow depth to bedrock, steep slopes, and low water holding capacity severely limit the use of these soils for other purposes such as development or crop production.
