Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Clay soils retain more water and nutrients than sand, but there is little percolation of the water and less oxygen for the plant due to smaller pore sizes than those of coarser textures.
Detailed explanation-2: -Soils high in clay content are called heavy soils. Clay also can hold a lot of nutrients, but doesn’t let air and water through it well. Particle size has a lot to do with a soil’s drainage and nutrient holding capacity.
