Silty Loam
Silty Loam
a) Silty loam allows nutrients and water to pass through, but not as well as sandy loam. When packed, the soil sticks together, but the edges crumble away when tossed.
b) In the area around the soil there were ants, worms, other little insects, and green leafy plants.
c) The insects help the soil by burying organic material, giving it nutrients. The plants then use the nutrients in order to grow.
d) The soil I collected is likely to be eroded as it is located in one of the high areas of my land. This means that it is more likely to be washed away by rain or other precipitation.
