Soil Survey of Lincoln County, West Virginia
Planting when the soil is moist can reduce the seedling mortality rate.
Because of stones at the surface, wheeled skidders with high clearance should be
operated at a reduced speed over carefully chosen routes.
Community Development
Suitability: Varies
Management considerations:
The stones and boulders on the surface and the potential for differential settling are
the main management concerns.
Onsite investigation and testing are needed to determine the potential for
community development.
