Answer:
heya,
it's true..
My understanding of porosity is that it gives you the percentage amount of pore spaces within a given volume of soil. I have worked with a range of soils that vary in their bulk density ranging from 0.89 g/cm3 to 1.69 g/cm3. Literature tells us that soils with high carbon should have low soil density because of the organic matter impact. Based on this my questions are as follows:
1) What is the ideal soil porosity? ( I have read some publications that say land managers should aim for 50%)
2) Is soil porosity of greater than 60% bad for the soil? (My understanding would be that the soil aggregation would be poor when there is very high porosity in a soil?, I stand corrected though)
3) Is there such a thing as too high organic matter in soil? i.e >15%
I hope that my questions are clear, any advice will be appreciated!
