My soil texture is that of sand. In some areas, is it mixed with water and looks hard and lumpy. In sand, water flows rapidly because the grains are so small. The movement of water this fast easily distributes nutrients evenly. One disadvantage of this rapid flow of water is that it can lead to leaching where nutrients are actually removed from the soil. I found a lot of worms in the ground. I don’t think the soil in this location will easily erode. There are many organisms that maintain the soil and also because is it in a well supported environment. The texture of the soil is important in determining the type of organisms that will inhabit that area. It also lets us know whether it is a pleasant source of nutrients for organisms as well.
