CLORPT
Primarily found in dune topography, this parent material is primarily fine and medium sand accumulated through wind action.
What is eolian sand?
Soil color is characterized by its dominant color, lightness, and saturation in that order. These three qualities are fomally referred to as this, this and this.
What is hue, value and chroma?
This is the process by which water transports organic matter, nutrients, and clay minerals down a soil profile.
What is eluviation?
Soil order commonly formed in grasslands. It's name comes from the latin word for "soft."
What is a Mollisol?
The primary parent material across northeastern WI.
What is glacial deposits?
The top left corner of a Munsell color page is mostly used to determine the presence of these soil two conditions
What is a gleyed or depleted matrix?
This hydrologic characteristic is indicated by the presence of both redox depletions and concentrations in a profile.
What is a fluctuating water table?
This soil order has no diagnostic subsurface horizon present.
What is an Entisol?
This seminal soil scientist is credited with the creation of the factorial model of soil formation.
Who is Hans Jenny?
This physical soil property is determined by rolling undisturbed peds between your palms and observing the stability of the structural units.
What is soil strucutre grade?
This soil order is most likely to be characterized by podzolization, driven by acidic, rainy conditions that solubilize, translocate, and co-precipitate iron and organic matter
What is a Spodosol?
This subordinate distinction is used when secondary carbonates make up more than half of the area of a soil profile.
What is kk?
Soil formation can be thought of as a function of this state factor, along which most soil Orders can be placed in sequence according to their base saturation.
What is time?
Thought to be induced by climatic changes that form bisequal soils, this soil horizon can be identified by a prescense of albic tonguing within an argllic matrix.
What is a glossic horizon?
During ATP production, electrons move across a transport chain, eventually reaching an electron acceptor. This process ultimately drives an electrochemical gradient responsible for the synthesis of ATP. For example, Iron is an electron donor that also acts as a visual aid in soils for evidence of redox reactions. This electron donor to this electron acceptor in soils is of most concern to those interested in greenhouse gas emissions from peatlands.
What is carbon dioxide to methane?
This subordinate distinction is used when a fragipan or fragic materials are present.
What is x?
