Characteristics of the soil formed are influenced by the parent rock as the original material. Different parent rocks have different physical, chemical, and mineral compositions that affect the different characteristics of the soil formed. This study aims to determine the soil morphology characteristics of various parent materials in Wakoila Village, Sawerigadi District, West Muna Regency. This research was conducted by survey method and field analysis of three parent materials. In the three parent materials, the external characteristics and internal characteristics of the profile were observed. Based on the results of the study showed that the morphological characteristics of the soil from the parent material of gravel (PI), alluvium deposits (PII) and limestone (PIII) have various soil morphological characteristics, both soil color, soil solum depth, horizon thickness, horizon symbol, soil texture, soil structure, soil consistency and soil pores. Soils made from gravel are characterized by a coarser soil texture, whereas soils from limestone tend to have a higher clay content. Meanwhile, soils made from alluvium deposits are characterized by darker soil colors and tend to have more pores. |
