a) The type of soil at my site is loam sand.
b) My soil's texture aid and hinder water flow and movement of nutrients by absorbing those nutrients and water.
c) The types of organisms in my area were birds and ducks.
d) The effects these organisms have on the soil's qualities is spreading nutrients around.
e) The soil I collected doesn't seem to be eroded. Its loss would affect the current location by having a lack of nutrients for plants and organisms. However, the site of my soil is more likely to erode if it were sitting on the surface of the soil and the location it would move to is attracting more organisms to migrate over.
f) It is important to think about soil texture as an ecologist because it can help them see how it can have an impact on plants and organisms as well as water retention and how water flows.
