Schematic Breakdown of the Soil Section Profile

Horizon Thickness (centimeters)

Description of the section includes color, moisture, structure, density, texture, new formations, inclusions, nature of mixing, transition horizons, signs of waterlogging, salinity, alkalinity, and other features.

Profile 2

43˚43'35". 60˚42'00"

0 - 15

Pale gray sand, dry with a pronounced slaty structure, rooted. Visible transition observed.

15 - 36

Pale gray, structureless, open-textured, and multiple fibrous roots, and sand. Visible transition by density observed.

36 - 53

Open-textured sand but denser than the previous one

53 - 117

Pale yellow, structureless, consolidated layer with some roots. Visible transition by the size of roots observed.

117 - 134

Pale yellow open-textured sand, differing from the previous horizon by multiple decomposed roots. Visible transition observed.

134 - 155

Pale horizon with a whitish tint, white spots of carbonates, and inclusions of 15 × 5 cm decomposed plant residues.
