Question

If the A horizon in a soil sample measures 3 inches, and the rate of top soil for temperate deciduous forest (where the soil was sampled) is 1 in/225 years, how long did it take for this horizon to develop? please help

Answer 1

Explanation:

alfisols

Deciduous forests have soils called alfisols. These soils do not have a bleached E horizon, but do have clays that accumulate in the subsoils. Alfisols are very common in the Midwestern region, and are the most fertile type of forest soils. In the Southeastern US, there are coniferous forests and temperate forests.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Even though these types of forests are very different, their soil characteristics are very similar. Boreal forests are the evergreen forests that are far to the north, and transition into the tundras. There are also evergreen temperate forests, which are mixes of coniferous and deciduous plants. Temperate forests are primarily deciduous. There is also a small world area of temperate rainforests (think Seattle) are the areas that are home to the giant redwoods and sequoias.
