A soil horizon is a layer parallel to the soil surface‚ whose physical characteristics differ from the layers above and beneath. Each soil type has at least one‚ usually three or four horizons. Horizons are defined in most cases by obvious physical features‚ chiefly colour and texture. These may be described both in absolute terms (particle size distribution for texture‚ for instance) and in terms relative to the surrounding material‚ i.e. ‘coarser’ or ‘sandier’ than the horizons above and below

Keystone species are species of animals that other species and the entire ecosystem depend on. Sea otters and elephants both play major roles in their ecosystems‚ as they are both keystone species. Without these two species‚ their ecosystems would have drastic changes in the environment in which many organisms and species would not be able to survive. If the sea otters and elephants were to leave the ecosystem it would cause a domino effect. The domino effect would make other species disappear
