Ideas in this flowchart

  • Soil bulk density
  • Bulk density is the oven-dry mass of soil divided by its total volume.
  • Oven-dry mass of the soil
  • Total volume of the soil
  • Particle density is commonly about 2.65 grams per cubic centimeter.
  • An idealized soil has about 50 percent pore space.
  • Its bulk density would be near half the particle density.
  • High bulk density can slow or stop root growth.

"Bulk density is the oven-dry mass of soil divided by its total volume. Because particle density is commonly around 2.65 grams per cubic centimeter, an idealized soil with about 50 percent pore space would have a bulk density near half that value. High bulk density can slow or stop root growth."
