How these factors affect drying
SoilOrganic soil
The soil survey describes organic material at this spot, not a mineral soil texture. Without measured water-retention values, the drying model uses a middle estimate for retention. Drying time is less certain; this label alone does not tell you how quickly the trail will dry.
CanopyDense 80%
Heavy tree cover shades the soil and blocks wind, so these trails dry slowly and can hold morning damp even after dry days.
TerrainModerate
Terrain here drains at a moderate pace. It neither sheds nor holds water strongly.
