When asking this question, you have to be more specific. Canada has 15 ecozones, each with their own unique properties, and yes, you guessed it, their own unique soil properties. The types of soils in the different ecozones depend greatly on the climate, vegatation, and precipitaion. The climate affects the soils because the climate factors the vegetation. In coniferous forests, the soils then tend to be thin, wheras in deciduous forests the soils are thick. Precipitation is a factor because of leaching. If you have a lot of precipitation and are in a coniferous forest, you will have almost white top layer of soils with the soild becoming darker in the B and C horizons. Thick and thin leaf litter and humus layers affect leaching because they dictate the amount of water that is available to flow through the soils. When you ask that question, it is much easier to focus on the soil of one specific ecozone than to try and lump all of the ecozones into one large category.

How can farmer tell if a plant is receiving enough water?

Mostly if you see a difference in the plants growth quicker then usual, then that means its getting the right amount. But, if the soil around the plant is usually always damp your definitely over watering it. But if it's not getting enough water, you can tell by 1: your plants looks dried out. 2: your plants leaves or stem is ripping pr pulling itself apart. 3: Your plant is dangled over and dried out and turning brown and ripping, then not enough water sunlight or soil. You can also tell if your plants is dying or growing based on it's growth and or sprouting new leaves. Or, ripping and turning brown. Hope I helped.


Is soil acidic if it contains a great deal of moss?

No, not always. Moss is acidic - yes, but having moss grow is not usually a sign of acidic soil. To grow moss in your lawn, all that is required is insufficient sunlight, low soil fertility, compacted soil, dampness, low pH. If moss is growing, it is more likely a problem with soil compaction.


How do you tell how deep the frost is in the ground?

One way to determine the depth of frost in the ground is by using a frost probe or a soil thermometer. Insert the probe into the ground until you reach the frozen layer. You can also observe the water content of the soil and the temperature fluctuations to estimate the depth of frost.
