Chapter 55, Problem 1DA
Summary Introduction
To analyze: The closeness of serpentine soil tothe normal soil.
Introduction: Ecotone can be defined as a transition area between two biomes. It is the area where two communities meet and integrate. This transitional area can be narrow or wide, which appears due to the gradual blending of two communities across a broad area.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
An ecotone separates serpentine soil and normal soil. In this area, the normal soil is 7-8m apart from serpentine soil. Serpentine soil is different from normal soil. In serpentine soil, there is a high concentration of nickel, chromium, iron, and low concentration of copper and calcium. Plant species found in this transition area are considerably different in this distant short area.

First, using morphological clues learned in lab, define what these two soil orders
are. Be sure to indicate which soil is which (e.g., "the soil of the left is."). Then
describe which CIORPT factor and which soil forming.process is probably most
important in determining the difference between these two soil types are fairly
close to one another?

1. Poor drainage
2. Reduced compounds of manganese
3. Well drained and aeration soil
