Soil

pH7 is neutral, anything higher is alkaline, and anything lower is acidic.

33

10'*4'*(8/12)'~=26.67 ft3

Since soil is measured in cubic yards, you need 26.67/27 yd3/ft3~=0.988 yd3

36755 ft2 * 2/12 ft ~= 6125.83 ft3

6125.83 ft3 / 27 ft3/yd3 ~= 226.88 yd3

there is Zero cubic meters of soil in the hole, after all if there was any soil in the hol eit wouldn't be hole, now would it??

To answer your question, you must also know the length of the hole, them multiply all of the measurements together to find the cubic space of the hole.

Phloem

The removal of organic materials from the soil is called "decomposition." It involves the breakdown of plant and animal matter by microorganisms, which recycles nutrients back into the ecosystem. This process is essential for soil health and fertility.

Soils are formed by a complex interaction between weathering and biological processes over millions of years. The chemical composition of soils is influenced in a large part by the parent rock from which they formed. For example a soil formed from a sandstone rock will comprise largely of quartzitic grains, and have a sand grain size, with little clay. There are large differences in chemical composition of the original rocks like, for example, between a granite, basalt or shale.

Besides the parent rock, other factors like the amount of rainfall, the type of organisms temperature and amount of organic matter all influence the chemical composition of the final soil.

Well, darling, the water holding capacity of alluvial soil can vary depending on its composition, but on average, it can hold around 25-30% of its volume in water. Just remember, alluvial soil is like a sponge - it can soak up a good amount of water, but don't go drowning your plants in it!

the deserts soil is very thin and dry as the forest soil is very wet and muggy

Due to the lack of water in deserts, not many plants can grow there. Therefore, there can never be much accumulation of biomass for compost. So desert soils are always much thinner and less able to hold water than forest soils.

To reduce acidity in soil, you can add agricultural lime (calcium carbonate) or dolomitic lime (a mix of calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate). These products help neutralize soil pH by raising the levels of calcium and magnesium while decreasing acidity. It's important to conduct a soil test first to determine the exact amount needed for effective results.

The horizon is the apparent line where the sky meets the Earth's surface when viewed from a specific point. It appears due to the curvature of the Earth, which results in the visual separation between the sky and land or water in the distance. Depending on the observer's elevation and the terrain's topography, the horizon may appear closer or farther away.

Sandy soil is typically permeable because its large particles allow water to pass through easily. Well-draining soils such as sandy loam or gravel also have high permeability. Clay soil, on the other hand, is much less permeable due to its fine particles that pack tightly together, slowing down water movement.

Jowar can be grown on less fertile soils and requires moderate rainfall and moderate temperature. Specifically, alluvial soil or mixed black soil and red soil are perfect for Jowar.

It depends on the density of the soil. If the soil is compacted or stepped on or moist of dry the amount of soil in 1m x 1m x 1m is going to vary.

The density of loose soil is about 1200 kg per m3

Soil building is the process of improving the quality and fertility of soil by adding organic matter, such as compost or manure, to enhance soil structure, nutrient content, and microbial activity. This practice helps to create a healthy and productive environment for plants to grow and thrive.

Clay soil has high water retaining capacity due to its small particle size and high proportion of fine particles. This type of soil is able to hold onto moisture for longer periods of time, making it ideal for plants that require consistent hydration.

Soil is made up of minerals, organic matter, water, air, and living organisms. The spaces between soil particles allow for air and water to infiltrate, providing oxygen and moisture to support plant growth. This interaction between air, water, and land in soil is essential for nutrient cycling, root development, and overall ecosystem function.

Animals contribute to the composition of soil by mixing organic matter through their burrowing activities, which helps to increase soil aeration and water infiltration. Their waste also adds nutrients to the soil, promoting plant growth and overall soil health. Additionally, animals can help disperse seeds and fungal spores, contributing to biodiversity in the soil.

No, it is a red-orange color due to the deposition of iron (or, due to the high iron content of the soil), hence the name "The Red Planet"

The root hairs of plant cells are responsible for absorbing water from the soil. These specialized structures increase the surface area of the roots, allowing for more efficient absorption of water and nutrients.
