Do you know how is #soil formed? 🌱 The #nature of the soil in any given location is conditioned by 4️⃣ different factors: ⛰️ Parent material: this term, used by edaphologists, can refer to anything from bedrock to other materials like alluvium or colluvium. The soil formation cycle begins with parent material breaking down over time. How quickly soil forms hinges on the quality of the parent rock, which can be harder or softer, depending on the material. ☔ Climate: parent rock can break down more quickly in very rainy climates with high temperatures. 🐜 Organic matter: the more vegetation there is on or near soil, the more likely soil is to form or thicken. Organic matter improves soil’s water retention and infiltration capacities, aiding soil formation and boosting biological activity. 🗺️ Topography: the steeper the slope of the ground is, the more difficult it is for soil to form, because gravity and erosion are obstacles to that happening. Depressions, in contrast, allow for the accumulation of matter and the soil there is thicker.

There is a common misconception that structural soil has the same capabilities and benefits as soil cells. But are they really comparable? This third-party study planted equal tulip poplar trees at the same time in equal trenches. Different planting mediums were installed, and each plot contained the same volume. After one year, the tree planted in GreenBlue Urban’s soil cell system significantly outperformed other methods. Another note of interest is that due to the amount of rock in structural soil, only about 20% is usable soil volume, as compared to a RootSpace Airform soil cell which is 97% usable soil volume. Meaning that you would need roughly 5 x’s more structural soil when compared to a soil cell system to deliver the same amount of usable soil volume to the tree.
