Explore: Soil Physical Properties

The physical properties of soil, in order of decreasing importance for ecosystem services such as crop production, are texture, structure, bulk density

biological, and fertility properties of soils; and these properties in relation to the use and management of soils. The main branches of soil science are pedology

soil tests can be used to determine the current physical state of the soil, the seepage properties, the shear strength and the deformation properties

mapping; physical, chemical, biological, and fertility properties of soils; and these properties in relation to the use and management of soils. History

state, the consistency and behavior of soil are different, and consequently so are its engineering properties. Thus, the boundary between each state can

provides an elaborate classification of soil types according to several parameters (most commonly their properties) and in several levels: Order, Suborder

Soil physics is the study of soil's physical properties and processes. It is applied to management and prediction under natural and managed ecosystems

Soil survey, or soil mapping, is the process of classifying soil types and other soil properties in a given area and geo-encoding such information. Soil

Soil morphology is the branch of soil science dedicated to the technical description of soil, particularly physical properties including texture, color

soil samples across the soils of European Union. Based on LUCAS topsoil database, scientists have modelled the spatial distribution of soil physical properties
