Soil that has not been touched by man or machine. It is soil that has developed naturally and has not been tilled or had chemicals added to it. Such soil is getting harder to find.
One method is using a soil auger to collect a cylindrical sample by rotating it into the ground. Another method involves using a split-spoon sampler driven into the ground to obtain a undisturbed soil core. Careful excavation with a soil core sampler can also help collect undisturbed soil samples.
Leaving the gas jar undisturbed in a soil profile activity ensures that any gas released from the soil is accurately captured and measured. Disturbing the gas jar can lead to loss of gas or inaccurate results, affecting the analysis of the soil's gas composition.
A disturbed sample is one in which the structure of the soil has been changed sufficiently that tests of structural properties of the soil will not be representative of in-situ conditions, and only properties of the soil grains (e.g., grain size distribution, Atterberg limits, and possibly the water content) can be accurately determined. An undisturbed sample is one where the condition of the soil in the sample is close enough to the conditions of the soil in-situ to allow tests of structural properties of the soil to be used to approximate the properties of the soil in-situ.
Disturbed soil refers to soil that has been altered, disrupted, or damaged by human activities such as construction, excavation, or agriculture. This can result in changes to the soil structure, nutrient levels, and overall ecosystem functions. Disturbed soil may be more prone to erosion, compaction, and decreased fertility compared to undisturbed soil.
You can allow the jar of water and soil particles to sit undisturbed until the particles settle at the bottom. Then, carefully pour out the water, being mindful not to disturb the settled particles. You can repeat this process of settling and pouring until most of the soil particles are removed.

The time frame for undisturbed soil in a tropical rainforest can vary greatly depending on the specific location. In some places, soil may have been undisturbed for hundreds or even thousands of years due to minimal human interference, while in other areas, deforestation and land use changes may have disrupted soil within the past few years or decades.
