  2. Soil pH - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_pH

    Ultra-acidic soils (pH < 3.5) and very strongly alkaline soils (pH > 9) are rare. [2] [3] Soil pH is considered a master variable in soils as it affects many chemical processes. It specifically affects plant nutrient availability by controlling the chemical forms of the different nutrients and influencing the chemical reactions they undergo.

  4. Sorting (sediment) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_(sediment)

    Sediment sorting is influenced by: grain sizes of sediment, processes involved in grain transport, deposition, and post-deposition processes such as winnowing. [3] As a result, studying the degree of sorting in deposits of sediment can give insight into the energy, rate, and/or duration of deposition, as well as the transport process responsible for laying down the sediment.

  6. Soil gradation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_Gradation

    A poorly graded soil will have better drainage than a well graded soil because there are more void spaces in a poorly graded soil. When a fill material is being selected for a project such as a highway embankment or earthen dam, the soil gradation is considered. A well graded soil is able to be compacted more than a poorly graded soil.

  7. Physical properties of soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_properties_of_soil

    There is no clear relationship between the size of soil mineral components and their mineralogical nature: sand and silt particles can be calcareous as well as siliceous, [18] while textural clay (0.002 mm (7.9 × 10 −5 in)) can be made of very fine quartz particles as well as of multi-layered secondary minerals. [19]

  8. Soil classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_classification

    Soil taxonomy based soil map units are additionally sorted into classes based on technical classification systems. Land Capability Classes, hydric soil, and prime farmland are some examples. The European Union uses the World Reference Base for Soil Resources (WRB), currently the fourth edition is valid. [5]

  9. USDA soil taxonomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USDA_soil_taxonomy

    A soil family category is a group of soils within a subgroup and describes the physical and chemical properties which affect the response of soil to agricultural management and engineering applications. The principal characteristics used to differentiate soil families include texture, mineralogy, pH, permeability, structure, consistency, the ...
