Is particle density influence by the soil texture?

soil texture is heavily influenced by particle density


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


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 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).


What are the factors affecting soil compaction?

lower levels of organic matter, less aggregation and more compaction


Choose the statement that is true.The larger the soil particle the coarser it will be.The smaller the soil particle the coarser it will be.The wetter the soil particle the coarser it will be.The larger the soil particle the finer it will be?

the longer the soil partical the coarser it will be


What is definition of particle density?

Particle Density is how deep in volume something is for example: the density of water and sand.


How does soil particle size affect drainage?

The bigger the particle size, the more drainage the soil would have. The smaller the particle sizer, the less drainage the soil would have. ITS EASY


What is the difference between soil texture and soil structure in soil science terms?

soil texture refers to particle sizes. whereas soil structure refers to particle arrangements
