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 [...]
After reading this article you will learn about the meaning and types of density of soil. Meaning of Density: Density is the weight per unit volume of a substance. It is expressed in gram per cubic centimeter or pound per cubic foot or mega gram per cubic metre (Mg m-3). Two density measurements—particle density and bulk density are common [...]
