Hi Maja,

Will a soil with no B horizon always be classified as Regosol? For example soil with Ap=10cm, Cg1=20cm, Cg2=30cm is not Chernozemic for sure, but could it be Gleyesol?

Thank you

Hi, I am wondering what is the distinction between C factor and P factor for soil erosion? Is it correct to say that C factor only considers the influence of vegetative cover and related management such as tillage on erosion, whereas P factor incorporates various combinations of management practices?

C factor (in the Universal Soil Loss Equation) refers to all management practices (tillage, fertilization, addition of organic amendments, etc) that are needed to grow a particular crop on the site P factor refers to the conservation practices (terraces, contour cropping, etc) that are done to protect the soil from erosion
