a) The soil seems to be loam or slit loam.
b) The texture of the soil aids water flow and probably nutrients too because the soil seems to absorb water well, so it could transfer water and nutrients better to the plants than other sticky types of soil.
c) Few visible insects were present in the area I collected the soil.
d) These insects may contribute nutrients to the soil for their excretion and body(when they die) may become nutrients for other organisms.
e) Because the soil has low sticky quality, it would likely to be eroded. If the soil is lost on my location, there will be less nutrients for the plants to grow; therefore there will be less organisms living there. If it erodes, it will be from higher elevation to lower part of the land and the location that it moves to will grow more organisms than it had before. However, my location is fairly flat, and it is unlikely to happen.
f) Soil is the foundation that constructs the ecosystem, therefore observing and analyzing the quality of soil is important to understand the organisms which live on that soil.
