This interactive map allows you to explore USDA-NCSS soil survey data for locations throughout most of the U.S. It is compatible with smartphones, tablets, and desktop computers. Getting Started. 1) Go to Menu->Zoom To Location to enter your area of interest or let your browser determine your current location.
This interactive map allows you to explore a variety of soil properties throughout the continental United States. The data shown here were obtained by aggregating current USDA-NCSS soil survey data ( SSURGO back-filled with STATSGO where SSURGO is not available) within 800m grid cells.

15 mar 2021 · Four types of soil. Sandy soil: light, dry, warm, low in nutrients, and often acidic; Silty soil: fertile, easily compacted, and light but moisture-retentive; Clay soil: heavy, high in nutrients, wet and cold in winter, and baked dry in the summer; Loamy soil: a combination of sand, clay, and silt
Fertilizers affect plant growth directly by improving the supply of available nutrients in the soil. Amendments, on the other hand, influence plant growth indirectly by improving the soil’s physical properties (e.g., soil tilth, water infiltration, etc.) or chemical properties (e.g. pH, salinity, etc.).
Soils in California typically range from pH 5 (acidic) to 8.5 (alkalline). Most plants do best when the soil pH is slightly acidic to neutral (pH 5.5 to 7.5) because absorption of minerals can occur in this pH range. At higher and lower pH some nutrients are not soluble, and therefore not available to the plant roots.
