Here is a list of seven physical properties of soil: 1. Soil Texture 2. Soil Structure 3. Density of Soil 4. Pore Space 5. Soil Consistence 6. Soil Colour. 1. Soil Texture: The relative size of soil particles is expressed by the term texture; more specially the texture is the relative proportions of different size, groups or separates. Classification of [...]
After reading this article you will learn about the relationship between porosity and density of soil. % soil space = bulk density/particle density Since, % pore space + % soil space = 100 or % pore space 100 - % solid space or % pore space = 100 – bulk density/particle density × 100 % pore space = 100 (1 [...]
After reading this article you will learn about:- 1. Meaning of Porosity of Soil 2. Types of Pores in Soil 3. Factors Affecting Porosity of Soil. Meaning of Porosity of Soil: Pore-spaces (also called voids) in a soil consist of that portion of the soil volume not occupied by solids, either mineral or organic. The pore-space under field conditions, are [...]
