a) I think the soil at my location is sandy loam.

b) Being that the soil is a type a loam it is generally good for absorption of water and nutrients.

c) Organisms in the area were mostly plants and some lady bugs.

d) The plants affect the soil quality because they use up the nutrients in the soil.

e) There is a possibility that the soil can be eroded because it is close to the salt pond. The soil may be deposited into other areas of the park, which I feel would not have a bad effect.

f) Knowing the texture of soil let's us know how water is absorbed and moved in an area and also what type of organisms would grow there.
