[3] Soil is formed through five factors, together known as CLORPT, or climate, organisms, relief, parent material, and time.[5] In addition to supporting forests with large trees such as hickories and oaks, Sassafras is also used in pastures and used to grow fruits and a variety of crops like asparagus and barley.For instance, it is an excellent resource for farming, creating large recreational fields, camping grounds, roads, and buildings.One limitation is Sassafras's sandy texture causes a risk of the soil caving in when people work with it.Another limitation is that the subsoils infiltrate liquid slowly, causing issues if people want instant results instead of waiting for the soil to drain.
