Homework answers / question archive / For a soil sample with bulk density of 1
For a soil sample with bulk density of 1.10 g/cm3, please calculate the maximum possible volumetric water content, in cm3 water/cm3 dry bulk soil. Please assume a particle density of 2.65 g/cm3.
For a soil sample with bulk density of 1.14 g/cm3, please calculate the maximum possible gravimatric water content, in g water/g dry soil. Please assume a particle density of 2.65 g/cm3. Hint: Calculate both g water at saturation and g dry soil for a 1 cm3 volume!
In two adjacent fields the texture of one soil is sand and the other is clay loam. A soaking rain occurs and after two days or so both soils are at field capacity. At this time soil water potential:
A.is most negative in the clay loam soil
B.is the same in both
C.is most negative in the sandy soil
