OBS

Efforts to explain soil characteristics in terms of the influence of biota are best facilitated by biosequence studies. These studies contain a series of soil profiles, across which the biotic soil-forming factor varies, while other soil-forming factors such as climate (cl), topography (r), parent material (p), and time of development (t) remain constant.
