TAXONOMIC CLASS: Loamy-skeletal, mixed, superactive, nonacid, thermic Lithic Torriorthents The mean annual precipitation is about 10 inches and the mean annual air temperature is about 68 degrees F. Cellar soils are on hills and mountains and have slopes of 2 to 70 percent. The Cellar series consists of shallow and very shallow, somewhat excessively drained soils formed in slope alluvium from granitic rock. Official Series Description - CELLAR Series LOCATION CELLAR AZ
