Abstract: Soil surface texture classification is a critical aspect of agriculture and soil science that affects various soil properties, such as water-holding capacity and soil nutrient retention.

The table below shows the plant-available water held by different textured soils when they are fully wet. Plant-available water is the amount of water stored in the soil that plants can take up.

The characterization and classification of soils in irrigable areas are crucial for understanding soil types and nutrient status, which in turn help to optimize crop yield and to design soil ...

Abstract: Soil texture classification is pivotal in diverse fields, such as agriculture, environmental science, geology, civil engineering, and land management. Traditional approaches to soil texture ...

Urban soil science is critical and expanding. Urbanization rates continue to rise, leading to more urban lands and higher human population densities in urban areas. This leads to increased soil ...

The search for tools to perform soil surveying faster and cheaper has led to the development of technological innovations such as remote sensing (RS) and the so-called spectral libraries in recent ...
