Soil Test
a) Sandy clay loam was the type of soil found at my site, determined by ribbon length and by grittiness.
b) Since my soil sample was sandy clam loam, it is able to slowly aid water flow and the movement of nutrients.
c) Earthworms were in the area where the soil was collected.
d) Earthworms' activities improve soil's qualities through aeration, water retention, composition, and enrich soil nutrients.
e) No, the soil collected is unlikely to be eroded. Its loss would affect not only the earthworms, but all of the other tiny organism that live in the soil. If it were to erode, it would erode down the hill towards the sidewalk. This new location would thus become the new home for all of the organisms to live.
f) It is important to think about soil textures because it helps ecologist understand how different organisms live and interact in the same environment. It shows how the movement of water and nutrients are and how organisms are depended upon them to survive.
