further down the column, the clay content increases

"тяжелый" as applied to soils means "clayey" (conversely, "легкий" is "sandy").
However, given how many times the word "clay" in this or that form would occur in the resulting phrase, you may wish to write simply "further down the column, it becomes" or something to that tune.
