I created this piece at my last outdoor art fair. I was working on it under a maple tree. I left to have lunch then when I came back a mapple leaf had fallen onto my work table. It was just the perfect shade and shape to be incorporated in this collage. Not to mention the fact that the day looked more like fall than the eve of the first day of summer!

Oxisol
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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. Some oxisols have been previously classified as laterite soils.
The main processes of soil formation of oxisols are weathering, humification and pedoturbation due to animals. These processes produce the characteristic soil profile. They are defined as soils containing at all depths no more than 10 percent weatherable minerals, and low cation exchange capacity. Oxisols are always a red or yellowish color, due to the high concentration of iron(III) and aluminium oxides and hydroxides. In addition they also contain quartz and kaolin, plus small amounts of other clay minerals and organic matter.
The word "oxisol" comes from "oxide" in reference to the dominance of oxide minerals such as bauxite. In the FAO soil classification, oxisols are known as ferralsols.
Scientists originally thought that the heavy vegetation of tropical rain forests would provide rich nutrients, but as rainfall passes through the litter on the forest floor the rain is acidified and leaches minerals from the above soil layers. This forces plants to get their nutrition from decaying litter as oxisols are quite infertile due to the lack of organic matter and the almost complete absence of soluble minerals leached by the wet and humid climate.
Present-day oxisols are found almost exclusively in tropical areas of South America and Africa, almost always on highly stable continental cratons. In Australia vast areas formerly covered in rainforest have become so dry that oxisols have formed a hard ironstone cover upon which only skeletal soils can form.
Fossil oxisols are known from the first appearance of free oxygen in the atmosphere about 2200 million years ago. In warm periods like the Mesozoic and Paleocene, oxisols extended to areas that now have quite cool climates, extending well into North America and Europe. It is believed oxisols became vegetated later than ultisols or alfisols, probably because vegetation took a long time to adapt to the infertility of oxisols.
Oxisols are often used for tropical crops such as cocoa and rubber. In some cases, rice is grown on them. Permanent cropping of oxisols in low-income areas is very difficult because of low cation exchange capacities and high phosphorus fixation on iron and aluminium oxides (ligand exchange mechanism; inner sphere complex with phosphate). However, many oxisols can be cultivated over a wide range of moisture conditions. On this account, oxisols are intensively exploited for agriculture in some regions which have enough wealth to support modern agricultural practices (including regular additions of lime and fertilizer). A recent example of exploitation by modern methods involves the growing of soybeans in Brazil.
Oxisols are divided into the following suborders:
Aquox - oxisols with a water table at or near the surface for much of the year
Perox - oxisols of continuously humid climates, where precipitation exceeds evapotranspiration in all months
Torrox - oxisols of arid climates. Because the present climate can never produce enough weathering to produce oxisols, torrox soils are always paleosols formed during periods of much wetter climates. They occur mainly in Southern Africa.
Ustox - oxisols of semiarid and subhumid climates
Udox - oxisols of humid climates

Inceptisols
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Inceptisols are a soil order in USDA soil taxonomy. They form quickly through alteration of parent material. They are older than entisols. They have no accumulation of clays, Fe, Al or organic matter. They have an Ochric or Umbric horizon and a cambic subsurface horizon.

Alfisols:
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alfisols are a soil order in USDA soil taxonomy. Alfisols form in semiarid to humid areas, typically under a hardwood forest cover. They have a clay-enriched subsoil and relatively high native fertility. "Alf" refers to Aluminium (Al) and Iron (Fe). Because of their productivity and abundance, the Alfisols represent one of the more important soil orders for food and fiber production. They are widely used both in agriculture and forestry and are generally easier to keep fertile than other humid-climate soils, though those in Australia and Africa are still very deficient in Nitrogen and available Phosphorus. Those in monsoonal tropical regions, however, have a tendency to acidify when heavily cultivated, especially when nitrogenous fertilizers are used.
In the FAO soil classification, most Alfisols are classified as Luvisols or Lixisols, but some are classed as Nitosols.
Alfisols occupy around one tenth of the Earth's ice-free land surface. They are dominant in many areas, such the Ohio River basin in the United States, southern and unglaciated Western Europe, the Baltic region and central European Russia, the drier parts of Peninsular India, Sudan in Africa, and many parts of South America.
Alfisols have undergone only moderate leaching. By definition, they have at least 35% base saturation, meaning that Calcium, Magnesium, and Potassium are relatively abundant. This is in contrast to Ultisols, which are the more highly leached forest soils having less than 35% base saturation. In eastern North America, Alfisols are commonly found in glaciated areas while Ultisols are restricted to the areas south of the limit of maximum glaciation.
The fossil record of Alfisols begins in the Late Devonian. Alfisols, probably owing to their fertility, are the oldest forest soils: vegetation on weathered Oxisols, by contrast, is not known earlier than Middle Permian. Fossil Alfisols remain common from the Carboniferous and all periods since the Eocene.[
