Is bulk density influence soil texture?
Definitely, soil texture influences soil bulk density
What is the importance of finding field density by sand replacement method?
this method is used to determine the field density of soil and bulk density of soil wrt to sand. this method is not suitable for organic , saturated. highly plastic soil that will deform during the excavation of soil.
Why does organic soil have the lowest bulk density?
Because its density is stable enough to provide food and crops from getting drought and erosion
How long does water keep soil moist?
It all depends on the density and amount of soil, and the amount of water.
What physical and biochemical conditions of a soil affect density?
Generally, the smaller the particles that make up the soil, the greater the density. For example, clay is more dense than sand, and sand more dense then organic soil.
Is bulk density influence soil texture?
Definitely, soil texture influences soil bulk density
Maximum bulk density can be occur?
bulk density depend on that material from which soil formed. so maximum bulk density depend on particle density of that mineral. Therefore,we can only tapped the soil upto perticle density. so maximum bulk density may be occur at equal to paricle density.
What is maint by bulk density?
Bulk density is a mainly a property of powders, granules and other separated solids, usually used in minerals like soil or gravel. It is defined as the total amount of particles over the total volume they occupy.
What is Maximum acceptable percentage of dry density for soil in relation to maximum dry density?
i have bulk desity of soil and have natural moisture how can i get unit weight of soil
Does the soil porosity increase as the depth increases?
Bulk density generally increases with soil depth due to increasing pressure from the soil column above. Porosity is inversely related to bulk density, thus porosity should decrease as soil depth increases.
How do you find porosity of a soil when all you are given is the dry density and the particle density of the soil.. and can you find bulk density with just this info?
Concerning the second Question: "Can you find bulk density with just this info?"Purely on mathematical insight and analysis:Yes, you should be able to find the bulk density of dry soil, given the 'dry overall' and the 'particle' densities.When wet, there is not enough 'given'Also some should be known about the (or your) definition of porosity
What are the differences between soil bulk density and particle density?
Bulk density is the dry mass of the solids (M sub t) / total volume (V sub t) Particle density is bulk density (P sub b) / 1 minus total porosity (1-theta).
How many pounds of top soil is needed for fifteen yards of top soil?
This depends on the bulk density of the topsoil. If we assume a typical bulk density of 1.3g/cc of soil: 1 cubic yard = 764,550cc of soil (764,550cc)(1.3g/cc) = 993,915g of soil (993,915g)/(453.59g/lb.) = 2,191lb. 15(1,191lb.) = 32,865lb.
