What is the opposite of light soils?
The opposite of light soils is heavy soils. Heavy soils have a high clay content and tend to hold more water and nutrients, making them more challenging for plant growth compared to light soils.

The ones with less air pockets and are tightly packed.

Laterite soils are most commonly found in which type of environment?
Laterite soils are most commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions with high temperatures and heavy rainfall. These environments are conducive to the intense weathering processes that lead to the formation of laterite soils.
Do leaves getting lighter than normal relate to too much water?
plant leave get lighter in color for many reason like the soils pH not enough nitrigen and micro nuitient ploblems
What soils found in found in the tropical evergreen forests?
Soil is nutrient-poor and acidic. Decomposition is rapid and soils are subject to heavy leaching.
What are the differences between living on chalk and clay?
A big difference between living on chalk and clay is that because of chalk escarpments, chalk areas tend to be hills, wheras clay areas are in between these hills, in the dales, or flat-bottomed valleys. These dales tend to be wetter than the chalk escarpments, although the clay dales do have better drainage than the hills, with meandering streams rather than denes with streams (known as bournes). These are physical differences between the two places An example of a human difference between living on chalk and clay is the fact that on chalk escarpments, the soil isn't that good and is only used for grazing animals-mainly sheep and horses. Clay dales also suffer from bad soil-but this time it is too wet and heavy to plough properly, so the lands is mainly used for grazing too. Another difference is that chalk is good for blocks, and the plots serve as underground reservoirs that can be used for storing water, whereas clay is used to make bricks.
What type of soils ground nuts can be grown?
Ground nuts can be grown in a variety of soil types, but they prefer well-drained sandy soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.0. They do best in soils with good fertility and adequate organic matter content. Heavy clay soils should be avoided as they can hamper root development and cause yield reduction.
What is the soil in tropical climates often like?
Tropical soils are often poorly fertile. This is because heavy rainfall leaches out nutrients.
What types of soil are prone to mudslides?
Soils that are prone to mudslides are typically fine-grained soils such as silts, clays, and loams. These soils have poor drainage and are easily saturated with water, making them unstable and more likely to slide down steep slopes during heavy rainfall or seismic activity.
In which soil does rice grow?
Coming from a rice growing area but not being a rice grower, I find growers usually find the heaviest soils possible (clay) to limit water use via seepage. It may grow in lighter texture soils if water isn't an issue but I think the heavier is still the better
