Properties of Soil | Microbiology
Physicochemical properties of soil include soil texture, water, air, inorganic chemicals, and organic matter. The biological factors of soil are soil flora and fauna. Mechanical composition (texture) of soil is determined on the basis of size of soil particles i.e. sand, silt and clay particles (Table 30.1). However, the ratio of soil particles governs the porosity (pore size of soil), [...]
