How these factors affect drying

SoilOrganic soil

The soil survey describes organic material at this spot, not a mineral soil texture. The drying model uses surveyed water-retention values. Organic soils vary in how they drain, so this label alone does not tell you how quickly the trail will dry.

CanopyPartial 47%

TerrainSheds water

Water runs off this terrain rather than pooling, which helps the surface dry out after rain.
