This assignment presents the pedological assessment of two soil types located at the UF Gulf Coast Research and Education Center. The soil was analyzed in the context of its horizon characteristics, including color, structure, and depth measurements, covering various layers from 0 to 173 cm. Notably, the soils are situated near a grass-covered, highly disturbed area, previously intended for agriculture but currently inactive. Detailed descriptions of soil horizons and color codes help elucidate the soil's composition and potential for future use.
