Our ability to predict how soils will behave under new and extreme conditions isn't perfect, especially when those soils are far below the surface, where we can only guess their properties and extents based on a few borehole samples.

我们预测土壤在新的极端条件下如何表现的能力并不完美，特别是当这些土壤远低于地表时，我们只能根据一些钻孔样本来猜测它们的特性和范围。
