Difference between Oxisol and Soil

Oxisol vs. Soil

Oxisols are an order in USDA soil taxonomy, best known for their occurrence in tropical rain forest, 15–25 degrees north and south of the Equator. Soil is a mixture of organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids, and organisms that together support life.

Similarities between Oxisol and Soil

Oxisol and Soil have 34 things in common (in Unionpedia): Acid, Alfisol, Aluminium, Atmosphere of Earth, Bauxite, Bioturbation, Cation-exchange capacity, Clay minerals, Climate, Fertilizer, Humus, Ion exchange, Iowa State University, Iron, Kaolinite, Laterite, Leaching (chemistry), Mineral, Organic matter, Oxygen, Pedogenesis, Pedology, Perturbation (geology), Phosphorus, Quartz, Rainforest, Sand, Soil horizon, Termite, Terra preta, ..., Ultisol, USDA soil taxonomy, Weathering, World Reference Base for Soil Resources.

Acid

An acid is a molecule or ion capable of donating a hydron (proton or hydrogen ion H+), or, alternatively, capable of forming a covalent bond with an electron pair (a Lewis acid).

Clay minerals

Clay minerals are hydrous aluminium phyllosilicates, sometimes with variable amounts of iron, magnesium, alkali metals, alkaline earths, and other cations found on or near some planetary surfaces.

Fertilizer

A fertilizer (American English) or fertiliser (British English; see spelling differences) is any material of natural or synthetic origin (other than liming materials) that is applied to soils or to plant tissues to supply one or more plant nutrients essential to the growth of plants.

Humus

In soil science, humus (derived in 1790–1800 from the Latin humus for earth, ground) denominates the fraction of soil organic matter that is amorphous and without the "cellular cake structure characteristic of plants, micro-organisms or animals." Humus significantly affects the bulk density of soil and contributes to its retention of moisture and nutrients.
