Full description

Bulk density is a measure of a soils mass per unit volume of soil and depends on the mineral composition of the soil and degree of compaction. Uncertainty in bulk density estimates will be greater than for texture as data are not available for many groups of soils. Bulk density is inversely related soil porosity: the more pore space in a soil the lower the value for bulk density. Soils high in organics and some friable clay may have a lower bulk density. Derived from McKenzie et al. (2000). The solum average bulk density is the A and B horizon estimates weighted by the depth of each horizon.
