Has the kind of plants growing in each area affected the physical properties of
  the soils? How?


 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Given the measurements of soil water pH and water saturation for each of the
  two sites, and assuming that all other things that affect plant growth such as
  orientation, slope, and climate are the same, which of the two sites is better
  suited for growing crop plants? Include in your answer all the evidence that
  you have gathered in the experiments on physical soil properties.

Answer to Question 1

The answer to this question will vary and is dependent upon the two sites from
which the soil samples are collected



Answer to Question 2

Encourage your students to consider the optimal soil pH for the crop they propose
to grow and the water requirements of the crop plant in developing their answer.
They should also consider any specific temperature requirements, such as a
minimum number of days below a critical temperature, and relate this to the aspect
of the site.

Did you know?

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
