Compactness with the free space of the soil differs the water that it can hold.
For example: in Sand, it has free space but there is no compactness so it just does not get stored in the sandy soil but in a Clay, it has compactness but no good free space so, it takes time to intake water while Lacustrine and other loamy soil can absorb the water and store it very fast manner with compactness to hold the water as well as the free space for the water to be placed.

What 3 abiotic factors affect a coniferous forest?
3 abiotic factors that affect a coniferous forest is the soil, the amount of rainfall, and the amount of sunlight that reaches the plants and animals. hi lillie
How do cover crops help prevent soil erosion?
Crops hold the soil together with their roots, therefor preventing soil erosion.
What factors control evaporation on a soil surface?
Factors that affect evaporation include temperature, humidity, wind velocity, exposed surface area, porosity of soil, grain size of soil particles, soil water content, matric potential, and sun intensity.
When erosion and other factors cause soil to lose its ability to hold water and other nutrients and to support plant life?
Deforestation
How can crop rotation affect the number of plants that soil can support?
Because depends on how the soil is
How does the size of rock particles in soil affect the amount of water it can hold?
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.....
Does the type of soil affect much water it will hold?
Yes because diffrent types of soil have diffrent amounts of density
Can you use soil texture in a sentence?
soil texture deterimines how much water soil can hold
Would water soaked soil hold more water if it were to rain versus if the soil was dry?
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.
What is the ability of a matirial to hold liquid in to a certain extain?
Water holding capacity of soil is just that, the specific ability of a particular type of soil to hold water against the force of gravity. Different types of soils have difference capacities, for example a sand soil had a lower capacity to hold water when compared to a clay soil. The nature of the soil, composition of the soil, amount of organic component and size of the soil particles determine its ability to retain water. Water molecules are held closely to the individual soil particles by forces of cohesion. The maximum amount of water a soil can hold before it is saturated and starts to loose water by gravity is known as "field capacity"
How can you increase soils ability to hold water?
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.
What is water retention in soil and how does it affect plant growth and nutrient availability?
Water retention in soil refers to the ability of soil to hold onto water. It affects plant growth and nutrient availability by influencing the amount of water and nutrients available to plants. Soil with poor water retention can lead to water stress in plants, affecting their growth and nutrient uptake. Conversely, soil with good water retention can provide a consistent supply of water and nutrients to plants, promoting healthy growth and nutrient availability.
How does the amount of soil affect the plants growth?
The amount of soil can affect plant growth by providing nutrients and support to the roots. A larger amount of soil allows for more root growth, increasing the plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients. Conversely, plants may struggle to thrive in limited soil volume due to restricted root development.
How can soil affect the soil?
poor soil means no. of voids more and soil does not hold nuritent the seepage loose more.it also affect crop yield
Why is the potting soil can hold more water?
soil
Can top soil hold water?
Yes, topsoil can hold water. Topsoil is the upper layer of soil that is rich in organic matter and nutrients, making it capable of retaining water. The ability of topsoil to hold water is important for supporting plant growth and providing moisture for roots.
Does organic material affect the absorbency of water in soil?
Yes, organic material can increase the absorbency of water in soil by improving soil structure and increasing the soil's ability to hold onto water. Organic matter acts like a sponge, holding onto water and keeping it available for plant roots.
