Solution

Black soil:

  1. The particles in black soil are exceedingly tiny and clayey.
  2. Calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, potash, and lime are all abundant. It does, however, have a low phosphorus level.
  3. They have a high ability for retaining moisture.
  4. In the summer, the clay produces thick fissures that allow water and air to flow freely, making it easier to work with.
  5. On the other hand, following rains, the soil becomes viscous and difficult to deal with unless it is tilled.
