Question

Which soils texture varies according to altitude?

Answer 1

Answer:

silt

With increasing elevation, pH, base saturation, exchangeable potassium, and fine silt-sized particles decrease significantly, while organic matter, the C/N ratio, soil aggregate stability, water repellency and coarse sand-sized particles increase significantly.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Silt

Silt had significant correlation and variation with elevation it increases with the increase in altitude with the rate of correlation coefficient 0.997 while the Sand and Clay shows negative correlation decreasing with the increase in altitude with the rate of correlation coefficient is -0.999 and -0.989 respectively.
