A physical soil test identifies the texture 和 结构 of soil, giving insight on its suitability for agriculture or building. This information is important for making effective l和-use decisions.
Underst和ing soil composition is important to determine the suitability of a piece of l和 for agricultural, 环境, 和 engineering uses. Soil’s physical characteristics determine the amount of water, 空气, 和 营养物质 available to any plants growing in it, influence the chemical 和 biological properties of the soil, 和 impact its stability.
Physical soil texture 和 soil 结构
Two of the most important properties of soil are texture 和 结构. Soil texture refers to the soil’s relative proportion of s和, 淤泥, 和 clay. This affects the soil’s ability to hold onto water 和 营养物质 (cation exchange capacity or CEC). Soil 结构 refers to the aggregation of s和, 淤泥, 和 clay into blocks of soil in various sizes 和 shapes, which has a significant influence on 孔隙空间, 和 how easily water, 空气, 和 roots can move through the soil.
测试结构, 结构 和 other physical properties of soil is especially important for agricultural purposes to determine crop suitability 和 to predict how the soil will respond to both 环境 conditions 和 management efforts such as adding fertilizer.
