The soils of the Appalachian Plateau in Pennsylvania are mostly dense soils with poor drainage therefor the soils in this region initially formed due to what?
glacial deposits.
Are soils formed from bedrock called residual soils?
no
How does moss help in watersheds?
Moss can help loosen clay soils and promote drainage.
How is arid soils formed?
Decomposed Babies
Where is residuum soil profile found?
Residual or Residuum soils are found at moderately deep to very deep layer formed by natural weathering. Colluvium soils are formed from materials transported downslope by gravity.

Soils formed on bedrock are termed?
If you are asking for the name of such soils, they are soils formed in residuum, or residual soils. Typically, the soil profile grades into a degraded bedrock called saprolite, with depth, before hiyting hard bedrock.

Explain two aspects of a peat gley soil that make it difficult for a farmer to cultivate?
Gley soils have very poor drainage and nutrients don't move well through the soils. Also gley soils can easily become waterlogged and there can be a lack of oxygen through the soil.
Where is residuum soil profile found?
Residual or Residuum soils are found at moderately deep to very deep layer formed by natural weathering. Colluvium soils are formed from materials transported downslope by gravity.
Do corkscrew willows prefer acidic soils?
Yes and no. What the corkscrew willow tree [Salix matsudana 'Tortuosa'] prefers is well drained soil. So if the soil has good drainage, and there's no other environmental stress, then the tree can handle a range of soils. Specifically, it's capable of growing in clayey, loamy or sandy soils. It's capable of handling soil pH levels that are acidic or alkaline. But the key here is good drainage.
