| 1. | Soils with high clay contents or small particle sizes and high dimers.

| 2. | The soil has a high clay content which keeps down losses from seepage.
|
| 3. | :Soil classification defines types of soils based on their sand, silt and clay content.
|
| 4. | The locals call the soil " adobe " due to its high clay content.
|
| 5. | Soils with a high clay content are also easily compacted and affected by man-made discharges.
|
| 6. | Soils formed from lacustrine parent material have low permeability in part because of this high clay content.
|
| 7. | However, they are very difficult to plow and manage due to the high, thoroughly mixed clay content.
|
| 8. | However, cooler soils with high clay content and high water capacity may retard the ripening too drastically.
|
| 9. | Despite a high clay content in most cases, poorly drained soils are too inextensive to be mapped.
|
| 10. | Use would be limited, however, to dry conditions and to soils without high iron or clay content.
