Document Summary
Soils: may be organic (rarely) or (most commonly) inorganic: soil formation: a complex process; it requires many, many years (i. e. , 1000s) to reach mature soil profile. Soils: may be organic (rarely) or (most commonly) inorganic. A lichen would be considered a single __________ microbe(s): population of, community of, soil formation: a complex process; it requires many, many years, individual (i. e. , 1000s) to reach mature soil profile, guild of. Organic acid (co2 and h20 to carbonic acid) Over time (1,000s of years): acid dissolves/leaches minerals from rocks. Forms small particles: wind, water erosion, freeze/thaw cycles further contributes to rock breakdown recall from biol 240: organisms can be classified in terms of their energy & c sources. B clay-rich soil, carbondale illinois (madigan et al. , fig 23. 10) mature soil profile (wessner et al. High microbial activity on surface of: mineral particles, clay particles, organic matter, air-/water-filled pores (madigan et al. , fig 23. 11)
