Soil survey helps predict soil behavior and changes by organizing the landscape into units with common soil properties. Ecological sites describe different types of land based on vegetation and response to disturbance. By using ecological site concepts, we can assess soil condition and changes due to management practices. Different ecological sites have varying soil functions, like carbon content and stability, which can be used to track soil health and guide land management decisions. This approach provides valuable information on soil properties and functions, helping us understand how different management practices impact the soil over time.
