C/soil science is a great community with well laid out general soil science information. What a great resource!
I for one appreciate the effort someone(s) put into it.
Gimme a soil fact!
Soils are comprised generally of three horizons, the A, the B and the C. They are labeled as they are encountered when you dig a pit.The C Horizon is most like the parent material that the soil developed on. It is regolith. Eventually mosses, lichens, and other non-vascular plants colonize and prepare the substrate for the establishment of vascular plants by improving soil, organic matter and freeing up some nutrients somewhat. This creates the A horizon eventually, as vascular plants colonize, creating a thicker A Horizon. Over time, the B horizon forms from the bottom of the A, and though any leaching or deposition from the A.
While it is the second horizon encountered, it is the last formed!
I just soiled myself
I don't think I need soil facts. I got like second or third place in a soil judgeing contest in a farming county. I'm not a farmer. I am not related to farmers. The rest of the kids were.
I wish we had soil judging competitions up here.
Did you go to school for soils?
It was one part of my botany class
I prefer mushroom science
NGL the science of mushrooms is so incredibly cool
Jokes on you, I blocked your soil sub
As is your prerogative
