Clay soil. Soils with a high proportion of clay typically stick together
Clay soil. Soils with a high proportion of clay typically stick together and are greyish in colour. Clay particles are the smallest particle of the different soil types, giving the soil a smooth feel when rubbed between the fingers. Such small particle sizes means that water cannot drain easily through clay soils, resulting in land with poor drainage. For this reason, clays are known as heavy soils, because they are heavy to work. Clay soils are usually very fertile, however

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the unique characteristics of clay soil. The image depicts a lump of clay soil, displaying its distinct greyish color and crumbled texture. Clay soils are known for their high proportion of clay particles, which are the smallest among different soil types. When touched, clay soils give off a smooth feel as they stick together due to their cohesive nature. However, this quality also presents challenges in terms of drainage. Water struggles to permeate through the fine particles, resulting in poor drainage and making these soils heavy to work with. Despite these difficulties, clay soils have redeeming qualities that make them highly fertile. Their ability to retain moisture and nutrients makes them ideal for supporting plant growth and agriculture. In this mesmerizing photograph, we witness the intricate profile of clay soil up close. Its geological features provide valuable insights into earth science and geography studies. This image serves as an important tool for identifying different types of soil textures and understanding their impact on land formations. Science Photo Library continues to deliver exceptional visual resources like this one that showcase the wonders of nature without mentioning any commercial use or affiliation with a specific company.
