The camper's week focuses on their specialty major and an elective of their choice and includes a daily recreation period and nightly campfire program. Sugarloaf is an overnight camp that runs Sunday to Saturday for both of the two sessions. The staff includes many El Dorado County teachers and many Sugarloaf alumni.
Time Factors In Soil Formation. Soil does not form overnight. In fact, soil formation can take thousands, and in some cases even millions of years. Thus, time is an obviously important factor in soil formation. A newly exposed surface will have very little if any soil, while old surfaces will often have much deeper soils.
In some cases, your water source can have a significant influence on soil pH. Soils have the capacity to resist changes in pH, but there are instances where the water pH can cause changes. Both the soil and the water contain negatively and positively charged ions that influence the chemical composition and thus the pH of soil. Some soils are more resistant to change, while other types can change rapidly if the water pH is significantly different from the soil matrix.
