a) Sandy Loam
b) The sandy soil has enough clay and organic matter to facilitate water and nutrient retention. The large sand particles facilitates water and nutrient flow, due to the spaces that it creates.
c) There are many black berry bushes, trees, bees, flowering plants, and many birds.
d) These organisms provide nutrients back to the soil. Trees and plants shed their old leaves which decomposes and becomes soil.
e) Yes, the soil is likely to be eroded, mainly due to the fact that the exposed soil rests on a slope. strong winds and rain could contribute to erosion. The eroded soil would flow towards Lake Merced.
f) Soil texture determines what types of organisms can potentially inhabit an area.
