影响土壤比重的因素: 土壤比重仅仅取决于土壤固相颗粒的物质组成。 Since a large portion of most soils is composed of particles derived from quartz minerals, the particle density of most soils is near 2.6 g/cc which is the density of quartz. Variations in the particle density are due to the presence of heavier minerals like iron oxides or lighter organic components
Section 1 Soil three phases Constitution Soil density and bulk density (一) Soil density( or Particle density) Soil density is the density of the solid soil particles only; the measurement does not include water weight or pore (air)space. The dominant soil minerals-quartz, feldspars micas, and clay minerals-
