Relative amounts of the different types and sizes of mineral particles in a sample of soil.
the relative proportion of sand, silt, and clay found in a soil; the feel of the soil
The amounts of sand, silt and clay that make up a soil sample. Names are given to specific combinations of sand, silt and clay to form textural classes, such as loam, silty loam, sandy loam, etc.
The mix of different sizes of particles in a soil.
A characterization of soil type, based on the relative proportions of sand, silt, and clay in a particular soil.
The measure of percent sand, silt and clay particles in soil. Determines the class name of the soil – Loam, Sandy Loam, Clay Loam, Silty Loam etc.
The relative amounts of sand, silt, and clay particles in a given soil.
The relative proportions of the various sizes of particles in a soil.
The composition of the soil (sand, silt, or clay) as determined by the size of the soil particles.
Physical structure or character of the soil determined by the relative proportions of the soil components (sand, silt, and clay).
A measure of the percentages of various particles size groups in a volume of soil, typically sand, silt and clay.
The cumulative sizes of particles in a soil sample; defined as the percentage by weight of sand, silt and clay-sized particles in a soil.
The relative proportions of the varioussoil separates (e.g., silt, clay, sand) in a soil.
The relative amounts of sand, silt and clay present in a soil which places it in one of the textural classes: sand, loamy sand, sandy loam, silty loam, clay loam or clay.
The relative amounts of sand, sift, and clay in a given soil sample.
proportion of sar-d, silt, and clay in a soil
(3) (4) the relative proportions of sand-sized, silt-sized and clay-sized particles in the soil-sized fraction.
The relative proportions of the various soil separates in a soil as described by the classes of soil texture i.e. sand, loam, silt, clay giving rise to e.g. silty clay, clay loam, sandy clay loam.
the physical structure of a soil determined by the relative amounts of sand, silt and clay.
The relative proportion of the various size groups of individual soil particles.
the relative proportions of the various soil size separates.
The relative proportions of sand, silt, and clay separates in a soil as described by the classes of soil texture.
Texture is determined by the proportion of sand, silt, and clay. Soil pH. The pH of the soil is a measure of its degree of acidity or alkalinity. pH affects the degradation rate of pesticides and the adsorption characteristics and mobility of ionic pesticides.
The composition of soil described by its proportion of clay, sand and silt-sized particles.
The coarseness or fineness of the soil. Sand is coarse-textured; clay is fine-textured.
The percentages of sand, silt and clay in a soil. Described by such terms as sandy loam and silty clay.
The relative proportions of primary soil particles (sand, silt, clay) in a soil, which determine a soil's "textural class" (loamy sand, loam, silty clay, etc.). Texture is not a measure of soil quality, because it is an intrinsic soil property that cannot be changed. But texture is an important soil characteristic that affects most soil management decisions.
The relative proportions of sand, silt, and clay particles in a soil mass.
Refers to the amount of clay, silt and sand in the soil.
The proportions of soil particles (sand, silt, and clay) in a soil profile.
This describes the relationship between the sand, silt and clay particles that make up the soil. The different proportions of these particles within a soil will determine whether the soil is for example a sandy loam, silty loam or any of the other textural classes which describe a soil.
The physical nature of the soil, according to its relative proportions of sand, clay, and silt.
The size distribution of individual particles of a soil.
Soil texture is a soil property used to describe the relative proportion of different grain sizes of mineral particles in a soil. Particles are grouped according to their size into what are called soil separates (clay, silt, and sand). The soil texture class (eg. sand, clay loam, etc) corresponds to a particular range of separate fractions, and is diagramatically represented by the soil texture triangle.
