Leona Canyon soil texture site.
A) Most of the soil at my site is loamy sand.
B) Loamy sand contains a relatively even distribution of clay, sand, and silt. Loamy sands also contains a large amount of nutrients. The particles of these components are small so it is easier to store water and nutrients.
C) When digging up the soil, there were some small insect such as annelids and beetles. Some plant organisms include weeds and porcupine grass.
D) A better quality loamy sand contain more nutrient and better ability to store water as resources for the organism. When the organism contained in the soil dies, it becomes organic matter to improve the quality of the soil.
E) The soil is likely to be eroded, because it does not hold it's shape very well. When moistured, it does not stick together and will be easier to be carried away. If it rained, the soil in my current location will be eroded away because it is at a higher elevation. The soil will erode from higher to lower elevation towards the swamp. There is a lot of organism living around the swamp, the new soil will help the new organisms with more water and nutrient.
F) Soil texture is essential to figure where the organisms get their water and nutrient from. The texture of the soil also determines the organisms' ability to develop and quality of their habitat. We can use soil test to determine which plants are suitable for which type of soil and how they are able to respond to environmental change.
