What soilOrder?
Parent Materials
Etc.MorphologySoil
Taxonomy
Parent Material - 100
• Parent material, climate, organisms, topography and time.
Factors of Soil Formation
Parent Material- 400
• Poorly sorted fragments on steep slopes or at foot of slopes, carried by gravity
Colluvium
Taxonomy - 100
• The great group Haplaquolls belongs to this soil order.
Mollisols!!! And you
Better know this one
Taxonomy - 200
• The great group Hapludoll belongs to this soil order, soil moisture regime, and will support this major crop.
Mollisols, udic, corn
Taxonomy - 300
• When comparing these two soil subgroups, which one is the “wettest?”
• Typic Haplaquolls• Aquic Hapludolls
Typic Haplaquolls
Taxonomy- 400
• Place the following three soils in correct order from high to low elevation in a soil toposequence.
• Clarion—Typic Hapludolls• Webster—Typic Haplaquolls• Nicollet—Aquic Hapludolls
Clarion, Nicollet, Webster
Taxonomy - 500• Place the following three soils in correct order from high to low elevation in a soil toposequence.• Clarion—Typic Hapludolls• Markey—Typic Borosaprists• Webster—Typic Haplaquolls• Nicollet—Aquic Hapludolls

Morphology - 100
• Five common soil structure descriptors
Granular, subangular blocky, angular blocky, massive, columnar, prismatic, single grain
Morphology - 200
• Brightness or purity of the color.
Chroma
•Amount of grey added.
•1 = high grey (low purity)
•8 = low grey (high purity)
•Chroma of 2 or less = gleyed conditions, poor drainage.
Morphology - 400
• A soil color of 10YR 3/2 refers to what three attributes (must be in correct order)
Hue, value, chroma
Morphology - 500
• These features are attributed to strong soil structure
aeration, lower bulk density, porosity, drainage, increased rooting depth, etc.
Etc. - 100
• Unconsolidated mineral and organic material that serves as a natural medium for the growth of plants...
Soil
Etc. - 200– Nitrogen (NO3
-), NH4+)
– Phosphorus (H2PO4-, HPO42-)
– Potassium (K+)– Calcium (Ca2+)– Magnesium (Mg2+)– Sulfur (SO4
2-)
Plant nutrients from soil
Etc.- 500
• The is the part of the soil profile that has weathered from the parent material, generally the A and B horizons
