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!
