1. The soil texture aids in the movement of water because there are a lot of agregate particles in it so that makes it easier for water to flow through.
2. There are a lot of plants in the area where I collected the soil, so they are able to retrieve water more easily because of the soil texture.
3. The plants effect the soil quality by adding to the agregates found in the soil.
4. The soil that I collected is likely to erode because it is a very loosely packed soil and it will wash away easily. Loss of this soil will cause loss of plants because the ground will then be the clay base that is present in the area. It would erode to nearby streams and would most likely settle in drain pipes. It would effect this new location by clogging the pipe for water flow.
5. It is important to know the soil texture in a location because you can determine the water flow through it and how well it will sustain life.
