Practice exam #3 - QUESTION 1
Fragment of a discussion from Course talk:APBI200
Brunisols - soluble salts and carbonates move down through the soil profile (may be redundant with previous answer)
Gleysols - gleying
Podzols - illuviation of Al and FE oxides and/or organic matter in the Bf, Bhf, and Bh horizons due to acidity and subsequent eluviation in the A horizon
Organic soils - accumulation of organic material such as peat and that from other vegetation that grows in saturated or semi-saturated sites
Cryosols - cryoturbation
Question about soil forming processes for Regosols: Does this include the beginning of loss of soluble salts along with poor soil development?
Further question: Will we be examined on great groups, like 'Brown' versus 'Black'
Chernozems or just the orders?
Thanks!
