 +† Winter Weather Risk\\
 +‡ Especially where bark beetles are a problem\\
 +~ U- upper 1/2, L- lower 1/2\\
 +◊ Broad Ridges\\
 +θ Narrow Ridges\\
 +Wet: Periods of excessive moisture due to periodic flooding, perched water tables (pans), and poor 
 +drainage. ​ Presence of mottled soils.\\
 +Moist: Well drained soils, but with sufficient moisture to maximize tree growth throughout the year.
 +Usually associated with loamy soils with some moisture retaining clays in the sub-soil.\\
 +Dry: Sites with insufficient moisture for maximum tree growth at least part of the year, due to 
 +excessive drainage and/or topographic position.\\
 +Droughty: Excessively drained, usually very shallow, except for deep sands. Insufficient moisture
 +for quality hardwood tree growth.\\
 +Texture: The relative proportions of the various soil separates in soil material.\\
 +Examples: ​
 +   Fine- usually associated with clay textured soils.
 +   ​Medium- usually associated with loamy textured soils.
 +   ​Coarse- usually associated with sandy textured soils.
 +   ​Skeletal - A soil with more than 35% by volume of gravelly ​
 +   ​(<​3"​ diameter) or cobbly (3-10" diameter) material.
