Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Additional Information: Sand has the lowest water holding capacity because they have coarse particles that leave a huge gap between the particles. Thus, a large amount of water and nutrients easily escape from the soil and cannot be retained within the sand.
Detailed explanation-2: -The simple answer is yes. It also affects fertility. Large soil particles create more pore space but the surface area is smaller than where you have smaller particles. So a sandy soil has higher porosity than a clay one BUT it has less particle surface area.
