Soil chromatography: Dona Morta Baix

Soil chromatography: Dona Morta Baix

The overall impression of the soil chroma in Dona Morta Baix indicates poor soil health. The rings are separated and the core presents a dark color.

The complex and distinct spikes on the outer ring are the only beneficial features of the chroma. This is an indicator of high organic matter and nutrient content. However, the inner zones are clearly separated, indicating an excess of soluble minerals and an imbalance between nutrients and humus. The central zone is limited in size and has a dark color, indicating damaged soil.
