For the deep percolation factor a high rate of water transmission through the soil profile and into the aquifer below is the key to successful groundwater banking.

Many investigators have reported the ubiquity of charcoal under the forest floor and in the upper soil profile, e . g ., La Roi ( 1967 ).
43.
The interglacial periods of warm climate are represented by buried soil profiles, peat beds, and lake and stream deposits separating the unsorted, unstratified deposits of glacial debris.
44.
The soil profiles are designated by the letters A ( topsoil ), E ( eluviated soil ), B ( subsoil ) and C ( parent material ).
45.
Soil profiles are more distinct in wet and cool climates, where organic materials may accumulate, than in wet and warm climates, where organic materials are rapidly consumed.
46.
Available phosphorus is found in a biogeochemical cycle in the upper soil profile, while phosphorus found at lower depths is primarily involved in geochemical reactions with secondary minerals.
47.
Screw pile designers typically use their own design software which has been developed through field testing of differing compression pile and tension anchor configurations in various soil profiles.
48.
The type and amount of precipitation influence soil formation by affecting the movement of ions and particles through the soil, and aid in the development of different soil profiles.
49.
Field capacity is characterized by measuring water content after wetting a soil profile, covering it ( to prevent evaporation ) and monitoring the change soil moisture in the profile.
50.
One of the disadvantages of closed systems like Earth Boxes and SIPs is that soluble salts cannot be flushed into the lower soil profile and build up over time.
