Soil Morphology as an Indicator of Seasonal High Water Tables
This paper describes the environmental conditions affecting soil color formation, the role of saturated soil conditions in the creation of gray colors, the application of the Munsell system for soil colors, and the limitations of soil morphological criteria in determining the EASHWT.
What Is Mottled Soil In Agriculture - Agruculture Lore
2023年11月1日 · Mottled soil in agriculture is a form of wetland soil that is highly clay-rich and often bears a distinctive pattern of white or grayish spots or patches. The mottling is caused by local changes in the soil’s water-holding capacity and oxygen levels, which in turn affects the growth of the plants rooted there. While not desirable for all ...

Interpreting Soil Colour | VRO | Agriculture Victoria
Bright colours and strong reds indicate that the soil, or horizon, is well drained, or at least rarely suffers from prolonged saturation. Dull colours: yellows, and greys, often found together in mottled horizons indicate that the soil is not well drained and does suffer from prolonged saturation.
Soil color - Wikipedia
Soil conditions produce uniform or gradual color changes, while reducing environments result in disrupted color flow with complex, mottled patterns and points of color concentration. Sometimes, a distinct change in color within a soil profile indicates a …
Rationalizing mottling and gleying in the characterization and ...
The characterization, interpretation, and application of soil mottling and gleying in Canada have attracted considerable attention and have undergone substantial evolution over the past 75 years.
Excessive Water and Poor Drainage :: Soil Health - UC Davis
2018年11月28日 · Soils which shrink and swell during wetting and drying, have a mottled appearance due to seasonal saturation, or the presence of aquatic plants are other indicators of soils which suffer from excessive water and poor drainage.
Soil Images - Redoximorphic Features
Photographs showing redoximorphic features (soil mottling) which are color patterns in the soil formed by the oxidation and reduction of iron and/or manganese caused by saturated conditions within the soil. Redoximorphic features are used to estimate the …
The colour, size and brightness of mottles are good indicators of soil processes like waterlogging, amount of biological activity and chemical reactions. In general, mottles form due to alternate wetting and drying conditions, so mottling indicates soils that …
