Wayne,

Get a clue.  It is not the responsibility of the net to do your
homework!  I'm sure your campus has a libarary!  Oh well,
for what its worth, contact your local Soil Conservation Service
office or look into the F.A.O. soil studies (U.N. publication).

To understand soils, you gotta get down and dirty.
