   What are soil profile descriptions?

   • SOIL PROFILE DESCRIPTIONS soil profile descriptions are basic data in all soil surveys. They provide a major part of the information required for correlation and classification of the soils of an area. They are essential for interpreting soils and for coordinating interpretations across state and regional boundaries.

   What does buried soil mean?

   • See buried soil. Buried soil.—A soil profile having one or more genetic horizons that is covered with a surface mantle of new soil material 50 cm or more thick. In essence, two soils are present—a new soil in the mantle and an older soil below that formed before the mantle was deposited.

   How do soil profiles develop?

   • Soil profiles (i.e. vertical sections) develop from rocks or sediments through processes such as weathering, decomposition, mineral alteration, clay translocation, solute leaching, biological activity etc. Most soils comprise a complex mixture of inert mineral particles, clay particles, oxides, carbonates and organic matter.

   What is a layer in a soil profile?

   • Layer.—A zone within a soil profile for which some or all soil properties are thought to be inherited from the parent material and not the result of pedogenesis. In this case, “layer” is used rather than “horizon.” The term “layer” may also be used when no judgement is made as to the genetic origin of the zone. See horizon.

   What does horizon mean in a soil profile?

   • Soil profile descriptions use horizon suffix symbols (such as z, n, y, or k) to indicate salt accumulation (e.g., Bz, Btn, Bky). Solum.—The part of a soil profile that formed by pedogenic processes; commonly made up of horizons designated A, E, and B, but not including the underlying C or R horizon.

   What is a standard form used for soil profile descriptions?

   • An examples of a standard form used for soil profile descriptions, along with some additional information, is illustrated by Form 1. This form is merely an example, because no standard form covers all situations. Furthermore, forms require modification as more is learned about soils and how to evaluate data.
