Soil forms when mixture of weathered rock, organic matter, water, and air support the growth of plants. Factors important includes:1. Parent material: The primary material from which the soil is formed. Soil parent material could be bedrock, organic material, an old soil surface, or a deposit from water, wind, glaciers, volcanoes, or material moving down a slope. 2. climate: Weathering forces such as heat, rain, ice, snow, wind, sunshine, and other environmental forces, break down parent material and affect how fast or slow soil formation processes go. 3. Organisms: All plants and animals living in or on the soil (including micro-organisms and humans!). The amount of water and nutrients, plants need affects the way soil forms. The way humans use soils affects soil formation. Also, animals living in the soil affect decomposition of waste materials and how soil materials will be moved around in the soil profile. On the soil surface remains of dead plants and animals are worked by microorganisms and eventually become organic matter that is incorporated into the soil and enriches the soil. 4. Topography: The location of a soil on a landscape can affect how the climatic processes impact it. Soils at the bottom of a hill will get more water than soils on the slopes, and soils on the slopes that directly face the sun will be drier than soils on slopes that do not. Also, mineral accumulations, plant nutrients, type of vegetation, vegetation growth, erosion, and water drainage are dependent on topographic relief.
adequate water, cool year round, poor rocky soil
Formation of Soil depends on these factors 1. Parent material 2. Climate 3. Topography 4. Time In the initial stages of Soil formation , parent material plays an important role. After that Climate is the factor which influences the type of soil. important climate factors that influence soil information and type of soil is temperature , Precipitation , vegetation etc.,
The factors which affect soil pH levels are the amount of rainfall, the amount of plants and the number of soil organisms.
There are 3 very big factors that can have a major effect on soil erosion. These factors are water, ice, and wind.
a soil horizon is a special layer in the soil which measures parallel to the soil surface.
No
two factors that are important to form soil are organic matter ,water , and air
Hi
Hard soil does not tire out the jounts.
Since edaphic is used to describe soil factors, I think that it means microbes found in soil.
Hard soil does not tire out the joints(thats all i know)
A biotic factor is anything that lives. For example,catdogmousehamsterpeopleplantstreesanimalsflowers

describe which factors of an ecosystem are not part of a community
what is the relationship between soil and biotic factors.
The factors which affect soil pH levels are the amount of rainfall, the amount of plants and the number of soil organisms.
