Soil Texture vs. All Appellations
Sandy loam
61% sand · 23% silt · 16% clay
Sandier than 91% of California appellations and clayier than 10%. Each grey point is one appellation’s topsoil; appellations nest, so this is a distribution of places rather than of land.
Plus 13% rock fragments by volume, which the triangle does not describe — the three fractions are of the fine-earth material only.
