	Histosols are soils that are mainly composed of organic materials. The [[Organic Matter\|organic matter]] accumulates because the soil is usually very saturated, which creates anerobic conditions that cause the accumulation of organic matter to be faster than decompostion. These soils are typically found in wetland environments and make up 1 percent of the world's ice free land areas.		Histosols are soils that are mainly composed of organic materials.

	Oxisols are typically found in the tropics and are highly chemically altered. These soils are naturally low in fertility and high in acidity. They are leeched and require fertilizers and an input of nutrients in order to be productive for agriculture. This type of soils makes up 8 percent of the world's ice free land area.

	Aridsols are soils in arid climates that have visible chemical/weathering alteration. They often have accumulation of CaCo3(lime) and NaCl(salt), but normally have low amounts of organic matter content. Aridsols normally are water deficient, and do not allow for the growth of crops without irrigation. Without irrigation and fertilization, the productivity of Aridsols are generally low. They make up 12 percent of the world's ice free land areas.		Aridsols are soils in arid climates that have visible chemical/weathering alteration.

	The United States exhibits a vast array of soil orders, as shown in the image to the left. The soil orders included in this map are: Alfisols, Andisols, Aridsols, Entisols, Histosols, Inceptisols, Mollisols, Oxisols, Spodosols, Ultisols, and Vertisols.

	Alfisols have a base saturation over 35 percent and have subsoil horizons enriched with clay. This type of soil is typically found under forest and savanna vegetation. Alfisoils are generally fertile, with production levels similar to that of Mollisols and Ultisols. They are typically abundant in nutrient cations of Ca, Mg, K, and Na. They make up about 10 percent of the world's ice free land areas.		[[Alfisols]] have a base saturation over 35 percent and have subsoil horizons enriched with [[clay]].

	Andisols form in or near areas of recent volcanism and are made from volcanic parent materials unique chemical properties. They have limited geographic distribution, but have potentially high productivity due to their tendency to accumulate organic material, and are easily cultivated. They lack development of [[soil horizons]] and are not typically extensively weathered. They make up about 1 percent of the worlds ice-free land areas.

	Soil biodiversity refer to the diversity of living [[organisms]] in the soil. The most biologically diverse part of the earth is the soil. The soil has a vast biological web of interactions between [[microorganisms]], plants, and [[macroorganisms]]. [[Bacteria]], [[fungi]], [[annelids]], spiders, [[collembola]], [[tardigrades]], [[springtail]], ants, and countless other organisms make up the diversity of the soil. These organisms are important to the flow of nutrients through the soil, which helps productivity. They help plants that grow on top of the soil by providing services like: retaining nutrients, preventing nutrient leeching, decomposing dead matter, returning nutrients to their mineral form, and improving water filtration by forming soil aggregates. The soil may not appear to be alive because many of the organisms are very small, but that does not mean it is not diverse in life. A handful of soil can contain a billion different [[organisms]].
