How these factors affect drying
SoilGravelly loam
About 31% of this ground is rock fragments, so water runs through it faster than the soil type alone suggests. It dries quicker than plain loam. The soil type here is classified, but the exact drying speed is modeled from that classification rather than measured directly at this spot.
CanopyDense 83%
Heavy tree cover shades the soil and blocks wind, so these trails dry slowly and can hold morning damp even after dry days.
TerrainHolds water
Water tends to pool and linger here rather than running off, so the surface can stay damp well after the weather clears.
