Soil Test
-I determined my soil to be sandy clay. The soil soaks up the water, but also filters it through a lot, so I think that the soil at my site allows for good movement of water and nutrients into the soil.
-Organisms I saw in the soil were ants and worms. Grass and trees and weeds cover most of the ground and rabbits and raccoons and deer are also found around the ares.
-Plants utilize most of the nutrients in the soil. Worms and ants really help with nutrient transport in the soil. Rabbits and raccoons and deer eat the plant life and fertilize the soil with their feces.
-The soil I collected is not likely to be eroded because there's a lot of plants to utilize water from rain and there aren't any bodies of water in the are. Eroded soil would be really bad for the plants and animal in the area because the plants would become nutrient deprived so animals would probably leave to a different area to feed. The soil would erode to where the land dips inward and the water tends to gather. I do not think that it would have a big effect on that area.
-Soil texture can help determine what types of organisms are fitted for that environment, so soil texture can help predict what species may live in an area without having to closely observe that area.
