Answer:

The physical properties of soils, in order of decreasing importance for ecosystem services such as crop production, are texture, structure, bulk density, porosity, consistency, temperature, colour and resistivity.All soils contain mineral particles, organic matter, water and air. The combinations of these determine the soil's properties – its texture, structure, porosity, chemistry and colour..

The physical property of soil is important to us​:

  • The structure and texture of soils are two essential characteristics.
  • Texture refers to the materials that soils are made of and how this impacts how they feel and how they are grown. clay, sand, and silt particles, also organic materials, are the fundamental components of soil texture.
  • Organic matter is the principal 'glue' that holds topsoil particles together and plays a key role in topsoil structures. It can help most soils of all kinds, regardless of texture, become more workable. This is why, in order to enhance the quantity of the soil's organic materials, farmers frequently apply farmyard manure.
  • When it comes to the size of individual soil particles, the term texture is employed, but when it comes to the arrangement of the particles, the term structure is used.  
  • In terms of moisture and air interactions, nutrient availability, microbial action, and root development, structure changes the effect of texture. For example, a highly flexible clay (60 percent clay) that has a well-developed granular structure that enables aeration and water flow is ideal for agricultural produce. Similarly, even though a soil has a thick texture, it might have a well-developed structure, rendering it unsuitable for aquaculture since it allows for large seepage losses.
