Cutans

Cutans are the modification of the soil texture, or soil structure, at natural surfaces (particle, pore, or ped) in soil materials due to illuviation. Cutans are oriented deposits which can be composed of any of the component substances of the soil material. Cutans are common features in soil and represent focuses of chemical and biological reactions. Cutans may include clay skins or coatings of silica, sesquioxide, manganese, ferromanganese, soil organic matter or carbonate. Clay skins are also called argillans, and soil horizons with sufficient clay illuviation are termed argillic horizons.

Significance

Cutans provide physical evidence, observable in the field, as to the degree and nature of pedogenesis. The ability to assess cutans is a core skill in soil morphology and paleopedology.

    O Little Town Of Bethlehem

    by: Katinas

    O little town of Bethlehem,
    How still we see thee lie
    Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
    The silent stars go by
    Yet in thy dark streets shineth
    The everlasting light
    The hopes and fears of all the years
    Are met in thee tonight
    For Christ is born of Mary
    And gathered all above
    While mortals sleep the angels keep
    Their watch of wondering love
    Oh morning stars together,
    Proclaim the holy birth
    And praises sing to God the king
    And peace to men on earth
    How silently, how silently
    The wondrous gift is given
    So God imparts to human hearts
    The blessings of his heaven
    Oh morning stars together
    Proclaim the holy birth
    And praises sing to God the king
    And peace to men on earth
    The hopes and fears of all the years
