An international scientific society that fosters the transfer of knowledge and practices to sustain global soils. Based in Madison, WI, and founded in 1936, SSSA is the professional home for 6,000+ members dedicated to advancing the field of soil science. It provides information about soils in ...
Planar voids that traverse the soil material in some fairly regular pattern, such as parallel or subparallel sets.
Industry:Earth science
Plant material incorporated into soil while green or at maturity, for soil improvement.
Industry:Earth science
A suborder of zonal soils including soils formed under forested, tropical, humid conditions and characterized by low silica-sesquioxide ratios of the clay fractions, low base-exchange capacity, low activity of the clay, low content of most primary minerals, low content of soluble constituents, a high degree of aggregate stability, and usually having a red color.
Industry:Earth science
Said of a sedimentary deposit consisting of fine clastics and deposited farthest from the source area.
Industry:Earth science
A zonal great soil group consisting of soils formed under warm-temperate to hot, dry regions under desert-type vegetation, mostly shrubs.
Industry:Earth science
Alfisols that have a udic soil moisture regime and mesic or warmer soil temperature regimes. Udalfs generally have brownish colors throughout, and are not saturated with water for periods long enough to limit their use for most crops.
Industry:Earth science
Land adjacent to a body of water that is at least periodically influenced by flooding.
Industry:Earth science
An integer system applied to tributaries (stream segments) that documents their relative position within a drainage basin network as determined by the pattern of its confluences. The order of the drainage basin is determined by the highest integer. Several systems exist. In the Strahler system, the smallest unbranched tributaries are designated order 1; the confluence of two first-order streams produces a stream segment of order 2; the junction of two second-order streams produces a stream segment of order 3, etc.
