In this article we will discuss about relationship between soil erosion and sediment delivery. In a stream either that is river or any fluvial system, the main source of sediments is the soil erosion from the catchment area of concerned stream/river. Erosion rates can be quite different within the boundary of an individual field, which may be due to variations [...]
Quantitative interrelationships of solid, liquid and air components of soil (Fig 4.1) are defined in terms of many useful parameters of soil. Density of individual soil particles and of bulk is reported in relation to density of water, which is 1.0 gram per cubic centimeter (1.0 g cm-3). Solid rock particles that go to form the soil, normally, weigh about [...]
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 [...]
