Kerroslukua
Kerroslukua is a Finnish term that translates to "layer number" or "stratification number." It is most commonly used in geology and soil science to describe the distinct layers within a soil profile or a geological stratum. Each layer, or horizon, is typically distinguished by differences in physical characteristics such as color, texture, structure, and chemical composition.
In soil science, kerroslukua refers to the sequential numbering of these soil horizons, starting from the surface.
Understanding the kerroslukua is crucial for various applications. In agriculture, it helps in assessing soil fertility,
