Soil profiles in different ecosystems:
Explain why the difference in the horizon profiles
you see below. What factors including abiotic: ppt, wind, topography
and bioticforces help to modify their
profiles.
For example, why does the desert soil have no O or E layers? Why would you suppose
that the grassland soil is the richest by far? How is it that deciduous forests
have fair to poor nutrient loads of minerals given that they support so much tree
mass?
