The phrase "associate soil" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to environmental science, agriculture, or soil studies, typically referring to a type of soil that is linked or connected to a specific plant or ecological community.
Example: "The researchers identified the associate soil that supports the growth of the native plant species in the region."
Alternatives: "related soil" or "affiliated soil".
(Licensed professionals can be found at the Web site of the Associated Soil and Foundation Engineers, asfe.org) This is especially important if you are considering buying a home in problematic areas like the Southeast, Southwest, Midwest and coastal states.
Field experiments also suggest that warming and associated soil drying could reduce primary production in many temperate grasslands [80, 81].
This affects associated soil physical properties such as BD, infiltration, and porosity (Siri-Prieto et al. 2007).
Where transitions have occurred, there appears to have been dramatic losses in forest floor thickness (O-horizons) and associated soil organic carbon stocks into atmospheric carbon pools.
Increase in BD reduces soil quality in such a way that it affects associated soil parameters such as soil infiltration, porosity and moisture content thereby reducing crop productivity at large (Bell et al. 2011).
We interpret these relationships as a hint that the flooding regime and associated soil anoxia acted as an environmental filter selecting for more flood-tolerant tree species with higher wood density close to the river.
The highest fungal count of 3.40 × 104 and 7.40 × 107 SFU g−1 were obtained for wild P. ostreatus and associated soil at Usi-Ekiti, which possesses the highest organic content (5.90%).
Soil erosion affects the redistribution of soil and associated soil organic carbon (SOC) from different landforms, and it has significant implications regarding the fate of eroded SOC and terrestrial carbon sequestration.
We investigated the effects of elevated atmospheric CO2 and air temperature on C cycling in trees and associated soil system, focusing on canopy CO2 assimilation (Asys) and system CO2 loss through respiration (Rsys).
The rhizosphere is a critical interface that supports the exchange of resources between plants and their associated soil environment [ 32].
