PPT-INTRODUCTION Rangeland Soils

The texture of a soil depends upon the proportion of sand silt and clay that are in the soil The texture and soil structure how the soil particles are arranged influence the amount of pore spaces or air found within the soil Pores are important conveyors of water nutrients and air as well as provide space for roots to grow.
