Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hydric soils are soils that are saturated, flooded, or ponded long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part. Histosols are organic soils that form in wet environments, including beds of former lakes and small, poorly drained depressions. Andisols are soils composed of volcanic ash and have unique properties. Vertisols are clayey soils that exhibit significant volume changes due to expansion and contraction upon wetting and drying. Aridisols are dry soils that form in arid or semi-arid climates. Therefore, the best choice for hydric soils forming in beds of former lakes and small, poorly drained depressions is Histosols (Choice A).
