Soil Series

A soil series is a classification that describes a specific type of soil based on its layers, properties, and formation. It helps geologists and soil scientists identify and distinguish soils in different locations. Each series has unique characteristics such as texture, drainage, and fertility, which influence how the land can be used for agriculture, construction, or conservation. Think of it as a detailed name and profile for a particular kind of soil, providing important information about its suitability and how it behaves in the environment.
