Interactions Among Soil Components

Typical surface soil in good condition for plant growth consists of about half solid material (mostly mineral, but with a critical organic component too) and half pore spaces filled with varying proportions of air and water. These four soil components interact to influence numerous and complex soil functions, a good understanding of which is essential for wise management of our natural resources.
