| Native vegetation Montane dry woodland. Soils Steep slopes, slow-weathering sedimentary rocks and rainfall inadequate enough to support vigorous and dense vegetation, give rise to active natural erosion and slow soil formation. Thus the soils tend to be shallow, stony, acidic and weakly structured. Where areas have been denuded of vegetation the soils are prone to severe sheet erosion. In the valley floors where soil has accumulated, gully erosion can be quite severe. This soil exposure was taken on the Bendoc- Craigie Road, Geo.Ref. : 677100E 5888900N. The topsoil is dark brown (7.5YR3/3) and the pH (water) 6.0, pH CaCl2 5.1. No other analyses were carried out. Land use Plantation forestry, native vegetation, some grazing. |  |
