depends on how chunky it is. chunky soil will stick to itself and make it easy to hold.
There are three basic types of soil, sandy soil, clay soil and garden soil. Clay soil is full of clay hence the name of the soil is clay soil. This type of soil is thick and it can hold water well but it is hard for plants to absorb nutrients because the soil is too thick. Sandy soil is full of sand . It is very easy for plants to absorb nutrients form this soil but it doesn't hold water well. Garden soil combines the two different kinds of other soil. It can hold water well as well as it gives the plants more nutrients too.
soil
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.....
Sandy soil feels gritty and loose to touch. It contains larger particles of sand, making it easy to crumble in your hand. It does not hold water well due to its porous nature.
Water will drain through sandy soil the fastest. Sandy soil is easy to work, but benefits from large amounts of water retaining manures and humus.A loamy soil will retain water, but allow air spaces between the grains.The worst draining soil is clay, usually needing drainage, and is heavy to work.
It helps the soil hold more rainfall so there will be less runoff and ruin the crops.
The roots of plants help hold soil together by anchoring it in place and preventing erosion. They also help improve soil structure by creating pore spaces for water infiltration and nutrient uptake.
Plant roots help to hold soil together by forming a network that stabilizes the soil. In addition, organic matter in the soil acts as a binding agent to help keep soil particles in place. Soil structure, which is influenced by the arrangement of soil particles, also plays a role in holding soil together.
yes
it makes the soil more rich and makes bare soil more full.
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.
Plants' roots hold soil in place. When the plants are gone, so is the soil. They Mean True Or False !
