Organic matter can increase the volume of soil as it decomposes, releasing gases that can cause soil expansion. However, the weight of the soil can decrease with the addition of organic matter, as it is lighter than mineral components like sand, silt, and clay. Overall, the impact of organic matter on soil volume and weight will depend on factors such as decomposition rate, soil texture, and environmental conditions.

How can you show that you are matter?

You can weigh yourself or calculate your volume through water displacement, as matter is anything that occupies space (your volume) and has mass (your weight).


How can you calculate organic matter content in soil?

The amount of oxidizable organic carbon and the degree of weight loss from sustained temperatures at 680 degrees Fahrenheit (360 degrees Celsius) are ways to calculate the organic matter content in soil. The first-mentioned measure is the Walkley-Black method that employs hazardous chromic acid in soils whose organic matter measures at less than two percent. The second-mentioned measure is the Weight Loss on Ignition method whose weight loss gets correlated with oxidizable organic carbon in soils whose organic matter measures at more than six percent.
