Characterization of a Sandy Soil by Three Sampling Methods 365. The challenge in defining the variability in the soil is not only how to define these. natural bodies, but also how to quantify the constituents within the soil.
Soil texture is a fundamental soil characteristic closely linked. to more complex soil properties such as the main charac-. teristics of the soil water supply, the cation-exchange capa-. city, and the hydraulic conductivity. As a consequence, empirical relations could be established to predicting these.
