Soil Structure and Hydrology (Intro)

Soil Sampling

Soil Texture &

Composition Testing

Pore Space &

Water Movement

Decomposition &

Nutrient Cycling

Dig into the science of soil through hands-on field investigation. Participants will collect and analyze soil samples, identify soil texture through sand, silt, and clay testing, examine how compaction affects pore spaces and water movement, and explore how decomposition processes contribute to soil formation, nutrient cycling, and ecosystem health.
