Natural erosion and storm events can loosen large sections of soil, often bound together with tree roots, and wash it out to sea.
The soil macropore system was also characterized using image analysis on the sections of soil samples hardened with polyester resin.
Furthermore, they were almost indistinguishable through direct inspection of the excavated sections of soil, and very difficult to track.
Soil micromorphology, involving the examination of thin sections of soils under a polarizing microscope, provides important and unique information that can aid the identification of buried soils and also their interpretation in terms of pedogenic processes and environmental controls.

He uses it to assess how much nitrogen the soil needs in each section of land.
In this section, the effect of soil stiffness and granular piles stiffness (i.e., the modular ratio, (E_{gp} /E_{s})) on the behavior of soil-strip footing system is studied.
He used computer imaging to create charts showing cross sections of the soil that identified the root structures of many species of trees and other plantings that are no longer here, giving us an idea of where the various plantings were located.
