SILTY LOAM. soiltype allows for most effective water movement. organisms: ants, spiders, squirrels, insects mostly, etc. These animals can effect soil in ways that wouldn't hinder its ability to support water and nutrient movement. Soil potentially eroded due to precipitation. Otherwise, no reason to believe it's eroded. If eroded, it would erode into the river (Red Cedar) and potentially fill the river over many years of erosion, or it would widen the river and make it more shallow. This soils loss would cause the river to broaden and/or shallow. Soil texture important because it tells you how easily/readily water and nutrients are transported through the soil as well as allows the investigation of the range of organisms that enjoy this type of soil within their fundamental niche.
