example 2 very-fine,
kaolinitic, isohyperthermic Rhodic Eutrustox
(Molokai
series)
These are very deep, well-drained soils that
formed in material weathered from basic igneous
rock. These soils are on uplands and have slopes
ranging from 0-25%. Mean annual rainfall is
~25", and mean annual temperature is ~73
degrees F. These soils are members of the Molokai
series and are used for the production of
pineapple, pasture, irrigated sugarcane, and for
wildlife habitat. The oxic horizon (Bo horizons)
in Molokai soils is slighty acid to neutral, with
pH values ~6.5.
