Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Porosity is the volume of soil that is filled with either water or air. It is inversely related to bulk density; as bulk density increases, porosity decreases. Soil texture is an important determinant of porosity. Porosity of mineral soils is often around 50% for both sandy and clayey soils.
Detailed explanation-2: -Porosity, the percent by volume of a soil sample not occupied by solids, is directly related to bulk density and particle density. If particle density remains constant, as bulk density increases porosity decreases.
