The soil characterization study was initiated in 1980 to identify and describe the major soil areas of Yellowstone National Park. Recent investigations have provided detailed geologic (U.S.G.S., 1972; U.S.G.S., 1972) and vegetation data (Despain, 1980); however, specific soils data and soil interpretations for resource management have been lacking. This study provides for detailed analyses of the major soils with specific emphasis on geologic and vegetative relationships.
