- Their composition is based on three particle-size fractions.
- They help predict water-holding capacity and drainage.
- They help predict aeration and erodibility.
- They identify soil-management concerns.
- A particle name such as clay refers to particle size.
- A clay textural class requires more than 40 percent clay-sized particles.
