Clay
the answer to this question is that Soil with smaller particles can hold more water when Soil with larger rock particles can hold less water.....
soil
the roots hold in the soil
It may seem that dry soil can hold more water but that's not the case. If it is the same soil used in two different tests, then wet or dry, the soil will hold the same amount of water. The water soaked soil would appear to hold less water because it is already absorbing it's capacity (or closer to it), whereas the dry soil will hold just as much but will take more water to reach it's "soaked" point since it is dry and void of moisture.
Silty soil is best for water retention because it has fine particles that can hold onto water well. Clay soil also has high water retention capabilities, but it can become compacted and slow down drainage. Mixing organic matter into sandy soil can also improve water retention.
yes
Yes, different types of soil have varying capacities to hold water. Soil texture, structure, and organic matter content all influence the ability of soil to retain water. For example, sandy soils tend to drain water quickly, while clay soils hold onto water more effectively.
Saline Soil
it is sexy soil
In order for soil to increase its ability to hold water it must have a higher amount of clay present in it. The more clay present in the soil, the more water it will hold. The opposite to this is how sandy or grainy the soil is, if it is too sandy then it will not hold water very well.
Sandy soil has large particles that allow air to be trapped, but because of its low water-holding capacity, water drains quickly through it. This can lead to poor water retention and decreased moisture availability for plants.
I love cj a lot
