Management considerations
Strong texture contrast between the surface soil and the subsoil is a very important soil feature and can have a major effect on the soil profile permeability. Significant organic matter and fine cracking soils in the topsoil lead to friable surface soils (and subsoils). Alkaline subsoils are associated with a high nutrient capacity but may result in an imbalance in nutrient availability. Calcium carbonate nodules (segregations, soft and hard) are associated with alkaline soils.
