	info: Soil (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Soil is vital to all life on earth because it supports the growth of plants, which supply food and oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide.
		Soils can be divided into two general layers or strata: topsoil, the topmost layer, where most plant roots, microorganisms, and other animal life are located, and subsoil, which is deeper and often more dense and less rich in organic matter.
		The rock and mineral content of soil is categorized according to particle size as sand (coarsest), silt or clay (finest); the ratio of these particles to a great degree determines the soil classification and characteristics.

		For example, the largest particles, sand, determine aeration and drainage characteristics, while the tiniest, sub-microscopic clay particles, are chemically active, binding with water and plant nutrients.
		The ratio of these sizes determines soil type: clay, loam, clay-loam, silt-loam, and so on.
		However, ""soil type"" in the broader sense refers to a pedological classification of the natural (or human-influenced) soil.

		The FAO soil map is a very simple classification system with units very broad, but it is the only truly international system, and most soils can be accommodated on the basis of their field descriptions.
		ArenosolsIn USA soil taxonomy, a Psamment is defined as an Entisol which consists basically of unconsolidated sand deposits, often found in shifting sand dunes but also in areas of very coarse-textured parent material subject to millions of years of weathering.
		The name is Russian for ash soil (due to the appearance of the E horizon), and it is found in areas that are wet and cold (for example in Northern Ontario or Russia)....

		In agriculture, soil type usually refers to the different sizes of mineral particles in a particular sample.
		Soil is made up in part of finely ground rock particles, grouped according to size as sand, silt, and clay.
		There are several recognized classifications of soil types.

	SOIL (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Soil is unconsolidated rock particle that lies on the surface of the earth, intermingled, perhaps, with organic matter from plant decay.
		Soil serves as a habitat for animal life from microorganisms to small animals.
		Soils are formed through the weathering of rock and the breakdown of organic matter.
