Ideas in this flowchart

  • Soil textural classes
  • They group soils according to the proportions of sand, silt, and clay.
  • 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.
