Particle Size Analysis: Measurement basics—Soil texture and measurement techniques

https://metergroup.com/measurement-in... Gain a clearer understanding of how particle size analysis in this four part series. In this discussion learn more about how particle size distribution can shapes soil behavior and discover the basics of measurement methods. Leo Rivera, director of scientific outreach at METER Group, introduces the foundational principles of particle size analysis and why it matters. In this first video, you'll explore: The significance of particle size distribution and its impact on water retention, hydraulic conductivity, erosion, and nutrient dynamics. How soil texture is classified using sand, silt, and clay fractions based on the USDA Soil Taxonomy Textural Triangle. Traditional methods like hand texturing, sieving, and sedimentation, alongside modern techniques like laser diffraction. Factors to consider, including classification systems, data presentation, and soil preparation. The physics behind sedimentation methods using Stokes' law and their application in particle size analysis.
