The shrink–swell capacity of soils refers to the extent certain clay minerals will expand when wet and retract when dry. Soil with a high shrink–swell capacity is problematic and is known as shrink–swell soil, or expansive soil . [ 1 ]
Properties that are influenced by soil texture include porosity, permeability, infiltration, shrink-swell rate, water-holding capacity, and susceptibility to erosion. In the illustrated USDA textural classification triangle, the only soil in which neither sand, silt nor clay predominates is called loam.

The total area of the islands is 314,965 km 2 (121,609 sq mi). [1] Great Britain accounts for the larger part of this area at 66%, [ 2 ] with Ireland accounting for 26%, [ 3 ] leaving the remaining 8%—an area of 23,996 km 2 (9,265 sq mi)—consisting of thousands of smaller islands.
Soils with high shrink–swell capacity, such as vertisols, recover quickly from compaction where moisture conditions are variable (dry spells shrink the soil, causing it to crack). But clays such as kaolinite , which do not crack as they dry, cannot recover from compaction on their own unless they host ground-dwelling animals such as ...
This is a list of islands of the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has thousands of islands within its territory and several external territories. This is a list of selected British islands grouped by constituent country or overseas territory .
