Abstract
This spreadsheet contains the soil property data extracted by the data extraction property scripts used by the cocci habitat suitabiity model. Since the methods are rather arcane, it was thought best to provide the data that is ultimately fed into the membership functions of the model. The major components of each soil mapping unit in the western United States are included. The data was extracted from the NASIS transactional database 20 June 2020, and reflect the data present at that time. The states reported are Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. These are the states thought to have at least some area hot, dry, and salty enough for cocci to exist.

Column headers for the data table

Actual soil property data starts at Column M. The preceding columns are for reference. This file is not aggregated to the map unit level and so each major soil component is listed for multi-taxa map units. This allows one to see how each component (soil in a county) rates.
