Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

1. This study dug nine soil profiles to perform the morphological description and collect samples for the physical and chemical analyses in the community of Poção, Martins-RN. 

2. The description of land use on these digging sites is needed to explain the texture and structure of soil with their own geologic property.

3. Altitude, temperature and rainfall amount is suggested to be analyzed in the multivariate analysis for these weathering parameters could affect the soil structure. 

4. More analyses are suggested for the variation of each profile on particle size distribution. Especially, the discussion on percentage of gravel, sand and clay in different depth.

5. Except for multivariate analysis, more analyses are suggested on the variation of chemical attributes in different depth and on different profiles.

6. Deeper analysis and description of physical meaning is needed for table 5 and Figure 3.
