Capstone 2

The soil is loamy sand.

This sandy soil allows for plenty of movement because the particles are fairly loose.

There are many different types of organisms living in the area where I collected the soil: insects, deer, rabbits, frogs, worms ect.

These organisms affect the soil qualities with their decomposition when they die and with their waste excretions.

Because the soil particles are larger and allow for easy movement, yes the soil is likely to be eroded.

If the soil was moved, the land would become more flat and possibly have less plant life.

Well, depending on the location it moves to, it would either hinder or help plant growth. If it just moved to another place within the same area, it would probably just be deposited and not have much of an effect.
