A)Loamy Sand

B)I don’t believe it hinders nor aids in the flow of water and or nutrients at all seeing as how water would just flow through it essentially without trouble however the same can almost be said of nutrients except if the nutrient is larger than the loamy sand then it would probably get stuck there until something unhinges it.

C)Various waterfowl and a few members of the Bivalvia family.

D)The members of the Bivalvia family would add to the soil because their shells crush easily into the fine particles that would make up sand.

E)The soil I collected would be likely to eroded to even tiny specks of sand due to the nature of the soil itself.

F)It is important to think about soil texture because this affects how both nutrients and water is distributed amongst the organisms that inhabit the location that the ecologist is studying thereby affecting things as serious as reproduction rate as well as mortality rate.
