| 11. | The average soil profile is 33 cm deep.
|
| 12. | Therefore, the progressive change in soil profile is more of a secondary evidence of lateral fold growth.
|
| 13. | In the soil profile, the nodules stand out as bright spots with a clear and rounded shape.
|
| 14. | This is evident from weak, mostly brownish discolouration and / or structure formation in the soil profile.
|
| 15. | In medium-textured soils, clay is often washed downward through the soil profile and accumulates in the subsoil.
|
| 16. | Saprolites form in the lower zones of soil profiles and represent deep weathering of the bedrock surface.
|
| 17. | For example, soil profiles can be used to make spatial prediction of different chemical and physical soil properties.
|
| 18. | The soil profile of the vineyard is very diverse across the collection of east, west and south-facing slopes.
|
| 19. | Soil profiles in arid and semi-arid regions are also apt to accumulate carbonates and certain types of expansive clays.
|
| 20. | Surplus water percolating through the soil profile transports soluble and suspended materials from the upper to the lower layers.
