Soil Science Fundamentals

This lecture covers the main physical properties of soils, including soil texture, density, porosity, and drainage. It explains the composition of different soil types, such as sands, loam, silt, and clay, and how to classify them based on their particle sizes. The lecture also delves into the relationships between soil volume, mass, and voids, as well as the importance of soil structure for water and air circulation. Additionally, it discusses the significance of soil porosity and its impact on water drainage and nutrient retention.
