Depending on soil properties, infiltrated precipitation water is partitioned into storage and groundwater recharge. Solutes and particles moving through soil have to pass the extensive inner surfaces of soil constituents where they might be sorbed or transformed. Hence, soils are also important to filter harmful substances, originating from industrial and agricultural production, municipal activities, or atmospheric deposits. (BonaRes project)

The boulder clay soils typically comprise very slightly stony (<5% stones), non-calcareous or very slightly calcareous (<1% CaCO-), heavy clay loam or clay topsoil overlying a clay or heavy clay loam upper subsoil passing to a clay lower subsoil within 45-60 cm.

A holdfast is a root-like structure that anchors aquatic sessile organisms, such as seaweed, other sessile algae, stalked crinoids, benthic cnidarians, and sponges, to the substrate. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holdfast)
Absidia is a genus of fungi in the family Cunninghamellaceae. Absidia species are ubiquitous in most environments where they are often associated with warm decaying plant matter, such as compost heaps. Some species in the genus can cause phycomycosis.

A yoke is a wooden beam used between a pair of oxen or other animals to enable them to pull together on a load when working in pairs, as oxen usually do; some yokes are fitted to individual animals. There are several types of yoke, used in different cultures, and for different types of oxen. A pair of oxen may be called a yoke of oxen, and yoke is also a verb, as in "to yoke a pair of oxen". Other animals that may be yoked include horses, mules, donkeys, and water buffalo. (Wikipedia, 2024. Yoke. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoke)
