Soils and Climate

Soils and ClimateNOVEMBER 2015 Climate Influences SoilsClimate refers to the temperature and moisture conditions of an area over time. Climate is the typical pattern of the area over the long term, but weather is the actual daily condition. Of interest, Climate is one of the five soil forming factors and has a significant influence on the properties of soil . Soils in warmer or wetter climates are more developed than Soils in cooler or drier climates. How developed a soil is can be determined from looking at the profile. A profile can be found by digging into the ground and looking at the different layers of soil , also known as horizons. Soils that are more developed have more horizons and deeper horizons than Soils that are less developed.

Soils that are more developed have more horizons and deeper horizons than soils that are less developed. Wet conditions favor leaching, or moving deeper with water, of clay and other minerals so that E and B horizons develop. Warm conditions promote the chemical and biological reactions that develop parent material into soil.

so soils surveys were designed to convey this spatial information. The heart of a soil survey is the soil map showing, by county, the spatial distribution and variability of soils on the landscape. How are soils mapped? Soil scientists prepare the maps in the field using pits, core samples, or trenches to examine the soils.

silt, clay and organic matter in a particular soil play a large part in the way that it behaves, how it can be man-aged and what it can be used to grow. Sandy soils are easy to cultivate but tend to hold little water and may be droughty, whereas clay soils are more difficult to culti-vate, hold a lot of water and can become waterlogged,
