On the Composition of the Environments
Colours not only make our soils easthetically varied, but also provide us with valuable information regarding the occurence of minerals.
On the Composition of the Environments, by Arthur Michael Green, is a paper on the physical composition of biomes and natural habitats.
He divided the properties into the following eight factors:
He divided the properties into the following eight factors:
- Altitude
- Humidity
- Light
- Precipitation
- Soil
- Temperature
- Vegetation
- Wind
- Abundance
- Colour
- Consistency
- Density
- Porosity
- Structure
- Temperature
- Texture
- Red -> dry iron reserves
- Yellow/Brown -> dry iron reserves
- Green -> wet iron reserves
- White -> dry calcite (such as chalk)
- Gray -> wet iron reserves
- Black -> organic matter
- Altitude -> low
- Humidity -> wet
- Light -> open air
- Precipitation -> regular
- Soil
- - Abundance -> low
- - Colour -> white
- - Consistency -> regular
- - Density -> dense
- - Porosity -> average
- - Structure -> rocky
- - Temperature -> temperate
- - Texture -> primarily organic
- Temperature -> temperate
- Vegetation -> primarily grass and shrubbery
- Wind -> strong
