[edit] Test welcome to soil project

Hello, Paleorthid/Sandbox, and welcome to the Soil WikiProject! I hope you will be happy helping here. You should begin by reading these pages: help, policies and guidelines, and how to write better articles. If you want some ideas of which pages to work on, read the project to to do list or the worklist.

Even though it is a good idea to research an article (like looking at the discussion page) before making large changes, please be bold and try! Any changes you make that are not perfect can be fixed later. We are also working most on soil science stubs, and creating new articles from a list of new soil science articles needed.

If you want to ask a question or talk with other members, you can visit the "village pump" at Wikipedia:Village pump. Administrators on Wikipedia can also help you with more difficult problems. You can also ask me for help. The best way to do that is to leave a message on my talk page. You should always sign your messages on Talk pages by typing "~~~~" (four tildes) at the end of your words.

Good luck and happy editing!

[edit] State Soil

San Joaquin is an officially designated state symbol, the State Soil of California.

The California Central Valley has more than 500,000 acres of San Joaquin soils, named for the south end of that valley. This series is the oldest continuously recognized soil series within the State. It is one of California's Benchmark Soils, and a soil profile of it is displayed in the International Soil Reference and Information Centre's World Soil Museum.

The San Joaquin series became the Official State Soil on August 20 1997,[1] the result of efforts by students and teachers from Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School in Madera, natural resource professionals, the Professional Soil Scientists Association of California, legislators, and various state universities.

These soils are used for irrigated crops, such as wheat, rice, figs, almonds, orangess, and grapes, and for pasture and urban development. San Joaquin soils formed in old alluvium on hummocky topography. A cemented hardpan a few feet beneath the surface restricts roots and water percolation.[2]

San Joaquin soils are classified in USDA soil taxonomy as fine, mixed, active, thermic Abruptic Durixeralfs [3]

[edit] San Joaquin Soil Profile

  • Surface layer: brown loam
  • Subsoil - upper: brown loam
  • Subsoil - lower: brown clay
  • Substratum: light brown and brown, indurated duripan with 70 to 90 percent silica-sesquioxide cementation

[edit] soil and waste treatment

Soil biota generally runs on oxygen. Not coincidentally, so do most waste treatment processes. A healthy soil can recycle most any waste material that passes by it. Soil biota, especially bacteria, feed on oxygen demanding constituents in the waste and consume organic matter of any kind. Clay particles in the soil act as electrostatic filters capable of adsorbing and detaining virus pathogens. The soil also chemically locks up chemicals like phospates.

Hi. Just a tip. It is good to use an edit summary (and a relevant one) when you contribute. For example the summary of this edit was a bit misleading, referring to a previous section. Just thought I would let you know. :) Thanks.

[edit] Population

  • Currently over 2 million practicing engineers in the USA [1] divided by 295,734,134 USA population [2] is over 0.68%
  • Current 1.45 million employed engineers [3] in the USA divided by 295,734,134 USA population is 0.49%
  • 1992 1.9 million total engineers in the USA divided by 240 million USA population is 0.79% [4]
  • Current 27,501 Professional Engineers licensed in New York State [5] divided by a population of 19,227,088 [6] is 0.14%

Note: For whatever reason the US Bureau of Labor statistics thinks there are far less than 2 million engineers. But the ratios of totals to apparent licensed to totals are still as wide as the New York stats infer.
