0 <br />Custom Soil Resource Report <br />substances, soil reaction, and the properties that are inferred from soil texture, such <br />as available water capacity and fertility, affect plant growth. The ease of excavating, <br />loading, and spreading is affected by rock fragments, slope, depth to a water table, <br />soil texture, and thickness of suitable material. Reclamation of the borrow area is <br />affected by slope, depth to a water table, rock fragments, depth to bedrock or a <br />cemented pan, and toxic material. <br />Numerical ratings between 0.00 and 0.99 are given after the specified features. These <br />numbers indicate the degree to which the features limit the soils as sources of topsoil. <br />The lower the number, the greater the limitation. <br />The surface layer of most soils is generally preferred for topsoil because of its content <br />of organic matter. Organic matter greatly increases the absorption and retention of <br />moisture and nutrients for plant growth. <br />0 <br />24 <br />0 <br />
