• Description
Land capability classification shows, in a general way,the suitability of soils for most
kinds of field crops.Crops that require special management are excluded.The soils
are grouped according to their limitations for field crops, the risk of damage if they
are used for crops, and the way they respond to management. The criteria used in
grouping the soils do not include major and generally expensive landforming that
would change slope, depth,or other characteristics of the soils, nor do they include
possible but unlikely major reclamation projects. Capability classification is not a
substitute for interpretations that show suitability and limitations of groups of soils
for rangeland, for woodland, or for engineering purposes.
In the capability system,soils are generally grouped at three levels-capability class,
subclass, and unit. Only class and subclass are included in this data set.
Capability classes, the broadest groups, are designated by the numbers 1 through
8.The numbers indicate progressively greater limitations and narrower choices for
practical use. The classes are defined as follows:
Class 1 soils have few limitations that restrict their use.
Class 2 soils have moderate limitations that reduce the choice of plants or that
require moderate conservation practices.
Class 3 soils have severe limitations that reduce the choice of plants or that require
special conservation practices, or both.
•
Class 4 soils have very severe limitations that reduce the choice of plants or that
require very careful management, or both.
Class 5 soils are subject to little or no erosion but have other limitations, impractical
to remove,that restrict their use mainly to pasture, rangeland,forestland,or wildlife
habitat.
Class 6 soils have severe limitations that make them generally unsuitable for
cultivation and that restrict their use mainly to pasture, rangeland, forestland, or
wildlife habitat.
Class 7 soils have very severe limitations that make them unsuitable for cultivation
and that restrict their use mainly to grazing, forestland, or wildlife habitat.
Class 8 soils and miscellaneous areas have limitations that preclude commercial
plant production and that restrict their use to recreational purposes,wildlife habitat,
watershed, or esthetic purposes.
