Answer:
- Clayey soil is dense with poor aeration, less water infiltration rate but with higher water holding capacity.
- When wet, the infiltration rate reduces and decreases the water holding capacity of clayey soil.
- This is because of water saturation in the pores of the clayey soil.
- Rainfall or storm causes the clay particles to form a crust on the surface and seal the top surface.
- This will trap the water but will not allow oxygen inside which becomes highly detrimental to all the organisms surviving in the soil.
- This also leads to flooding or pooling and runoff of excess water.
