  • Soil profile helps in determining the role of the soil as well. It helps one to differentiate the given sample of soil from other soil samples based on factors like its colour, texture, structure, and thickness, as well as its chemical composition.

Organic acids and exudates produced by microorganisms and plants enhance the weathering of minerals and the release of nutrients.
