| W layer concept |
| Author: Artigas Duran Created on: 7/16/2009 MessageID: 1257 |
| Keys to Soil Taxonomy (10th ed., 2006, p. 312) defines W layer as a "water layer within or beneath the soil", excluding ponded water, ice or snow on soil surface. I do not clearly understand from the definition the concept of W layer since I assume it is not a saturated soil or subsoil layer, for which the different types of saturation (as defined in p. 23) should apply. Is it so? |
