PART I: Soil Texture
• What is soil texture• How do you measure it?• What is your soil like at your school using a
NRCS map?• What is your soil texture if you use the
sedimentation method?

Texture by feel method
1. soil will not cohere into a ball, falls apart: sand2. Soil forms a ball, but will not form a ribbon:
loamy sand

Stokes’ law
Velocity V(cm/s)= K D2
K = 11,241 cm-1 sec-1
• Sand: D = 1 mm= 0.1 cmV = 11,241 x (0.1)2= 112.4 cm/sec
• clay: D = 0.002 mm =0.0002 cmV = 11,241 x (0.0002)2= 0.00045 cm/sec

Class discussion: Pore sizes
• Different particles sizes have different spaces in between.
• What do you think the pore spaces between clay and sand compare?
• How is this important for air and water?• How would pure clay and sand relate to plant
growth? Why?

Important for Nitrogen Cycle
• Cool facts: DNA and lipids can be found in soil.
• DNA can be bound to clays!• Nitrogen Cycle– Nitrate easily lost– Ammonium can be adsorbed to soil OR nitrified– Nitrogen is usually low (N2)

Conclusion
• Soils in the BeSt plots have different kinds of soil
• The texture could be important for explaining plant growth
• Texture has certain physical and chemical properties which then determines how much water and nutrients are being held.
