unknown                   7.69999980926514     Soil here lacks structure and is therefore quite erosive, judging from the large amount of surface gravel. Furthermore, the soil could be characterized as "mineral fresh." It has a very low calcium to magnesium ratio confirming the dolomitic nature of the bedrock. ag / vf/ gr 10 10 YR 4/1
