soil function (The main soil function is participation in the material transformation and migrating processes occurring in the natural environment on which the functioning of ecosystems depends. The most active participants in the occurring processes are microorganisms and invertebrates, whose activity, different variety, complex structure, and abundance accurately reflect the soil type and its characteristics: so they are important indicators of ecological stability. The variety of soil organisms determine its self-regulatory and self-cleaning capacity) | función de suelo | |

soil layer (Distinctive successive layers of soil produced by internal redistribution processes. Conventionally the layers have been divided into A, B and C horizons. The A horizon is the upper layer, containing humus and is leached and/or eluviated of many minerals. The B horizon forms a zone of deposition and is enriched with clay minerals and iron/aluminium oxides from the A layer. The C layer is the parent material for the present soil and may be partially weathered rock, transported glacial or alluvial material or an earlier soil) | capas del suelo | |
soil layer | capas del suelo | |
soil leaching (The removal of water or any soluble constituents from the soil. Leaching often occurs with soil constituents such as nitrate fertilizers with the result that nitrates end up in potable waters) | lixiviación de suelo | |
soil leaching | lixiviación de suelo | |
soil loading (In soil mechanics and civil engineering the term is used to denote the increased weight brought to bear on the ground surface) | cargamento de suelo | |
soil loading | cargamento de suelo | |
soil map (A two-dimensional representation that shows the areal extent or the distribution of soils in relation to other features of the land surface) | mapa de suelo | |
soil map | mapa de suelo | |
