Soil

The soil absorbs a lot of water and is fairly airy so that water may seep into it easily. The soil is filled with small insects and worms while their are squirrels, deer, and raccoons in the area as well and plants grow in this soil. These organisms can aerate the soil and deposit organic material. The soil is surrounded by trees and plants making it unlikely to have very much erosion. Any soil loss would be quickly replaced by the high amount of organic material. Soil texture can determine what organisms exist in the area and how water moves through the area.
