water weight/ dry weight x 100%

How is % moisture of a soil sample determined?

weight of organic matter/ dry weight x 100%

How is % organic matter of a soil sample determined?

more organic matter

If one dry soil sample has a darker color than another dry sample, what does that most likely tell you about the soil content?

% organic matter

Other than sizes of particles, what other component of soil contributes to its ability to hold water?

species richness

how many species there are in a community

species evenness

is the total abundance of the species

community, richness, evenness

species diversity is the variety of species in a —, this includes species — (how many) and species — (how evenly abundant)

detritus

dead and decaying organic matter (including dead plants and animals)

decomposers

microorganisms that feed on detritus by digesting it externally and then absorbing its nutrients (fungi and bacteria)

detritivores

animals that feed on detritus by ingesting it, then digesting it internally

microbial grazers

organisms that eat mold and bacteria

micropredators

small animals that eat other animals in the detritus food chain

areation, mixing and pulling organic materials down into the soil

What role do organisms play in building soil and altering the structure of soil?

slugs/snails, millipedes, earthworms, beetle mites

Ex of detritovores from taxonomy lessons ~4

mites, springtails, beetles, flatworms, rotifers

ex of microbial grazers from taxonomy 5

ants, centipedes, ground beetle, pseudoscorpion

ex of micropredators from taxonomy 4

foundation, mineral, organic

soil is the — of life on land it is a complex mix of eroded rock, — nutrients, decaying — matter, water, air and organisms

horizons

soil layers are called soil —

O horizon

layer of top of soil composed primarily of organic material, plant matter

litter accumulation

A horizon

layer of topsoil, enriched with decomposing organic material, plant roots grow through this layer

decomposition of organic matter

B horizon

beneath the topsoil layer, has little organic matter, made of fine particles that bind positively to charged ions, may have bands of red and yellow

recapture of dissolved ions as they pass through mineral soil

C horizon

where bedrock weathers and breaks into small particles over time, called parent material because it gives rise to the mineral components of the soil

weathering of parent material

horizon O

Which layer has the highest % of organic matter?

C horizon

Which layer has the lowest % of organic matter?

C horizon

Which layer has the highest % of minerals?

O horizon

Which layer has the lowest % of minerals?

gravel, sand, silt, clay

list soil particles in order of size from greatest to least

hold, gravity

field capacity how much water the soil can take up and — against —

the smaller the particle, the higher the field capacity

How does soil particle size influence field capacity?

(wet weight - dry weight)/dry weight x 100%

How is field capacity of a soil sample determined?  

wilting point

when plants start to droop because they can no longer extract soil water

gravitational water

water drained by gravity

capillary water

available water for plant use

hygroscopic water

water held below wilting point

because it indicates how much water the plants are actually getting

Why is field capacity important to a farmer or gardener?

crawling organisms

a berlese funnel is used to extract — — from soil

extracts microscopic organisms from soil using gravitational water

What is wet extraction apparatus used for, and how does it work?

microscopic

What kinds of organisms can you get out of the soil with wet extraction that you probably won’t get out using a Berlese funnel?
