EXAMPLE SENTENCES

Vegetation on the steep mountain slope grows thin because the ground is mostly lithosol. Farmers avoid planting crops in regions dominated by rocky lithosol. Prickly shrubs and hardy weeds manage to take root in the dry lithosol. Erosion rapidly strips away the exposed lithosol from the hillsides. Geologists sampled the shallow lithosol layer to study rock degradation.
