Soil Test...sandy loam
1) I would say that because the soil was so thick it probably hinders the flow of the movement of nutrients. However, because it does have some grit to it it is probably better than if it was smoother meaning it is probably is denser. 2)Organisms in the area where the soil include a variety of plant life... grasses mostly, small plants..further away were trees, and animals like birds, bunnies, deer, and humans frequent the area. 3) I think that the organisms probably help to enrich the soil qualities...as most people know feces can be used as fertilizer so the larger animals probably help enrich the soil while the plants obviously use the nutrients to grow, also worms and things would help airate and loosen the soil helping the movement of nutrients. 4) I think the soil is likely to erode a little during heavy rain but overall its so dense that it probably doesn't erode much. If it did move it would possibly effect the type of plant life growing in the area and in the new area to where it moves if the soil in these areas became different.
