OBJECTIVE FORESTRY

Detailed explanation-1: -Losses: Through the movement of wind or water, or uptake by plants, soil particles (sand, silt, clay, and OM) or chemical compounds can be eroded, leached, or harvested from the soil, altering the chemical and physical makeup of the soil.

Detailed explanation-2: -Translocations: Movement of soil constituents (organic or mineral ) within the profile and/or between horizons. Over time, this process is one of the more visibly noticeable as alterations in color, texture, and structure become apparent.

Detailed explanation-3: -C: A C horizon consists of parent material, such as glacial till or lake sediments that have little to no alteration due to the soil forming processes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Soil Profile. A soil profile is a vertical cross section of the soil. When exposed, various soil horizons, or layers of soil, become apparent.
