1-soil solids
or 1-ρb/ρs
Soil Texture
Give this one a try later!
The size distribution of inorganic (mineral) primary particles
Saturated Flow
Give this one a try later!
movement of water when all soil is filled (saturated), occurs by gravitational
and capillary forces

-Massive
-Single Grain
Dry Consistence
Give this one a try later!
Loose, Soft, Hard
Colluvium
Give this one a try later!
deposited by movement of materials from upslope due to gravity and to a
lesser degree water
Improving Soil Aeration
Give this one a try later!
Improve soil aggregation (Ca, OM)
Improve soil drainage
Tillage - mixed results; important in the A_p, but may compact soil below it
, Well aerated soil - movement of gases is sufficient to meet biotic
requirements
gravimetric water content
Give this one a try later!
water on a dry mass basis
w = water mass/ dry oven soil mass
Physical Properties of Sand
Give this one a try later!
High Permeability and Low water retention
Plasticity Index (PI)
Give this one a try later!
water content range over which the soil has plastic properties
PI= LL-PL
