👉 Moundiness is a characteristic of soil that refers to its ability to hold water and nutrients for long periods, even under conditions like drought. It occurs when the soil has a compacted structure and can retain moisture more efficiently than other types of soil. Mounds are often found in dry areas where there is little rainfall or precipitation during the growing season. They typically have a dense, compact surface that is resistant to erosion and can be used for many purposes such as agriculture, construction, and landscaping.
