  2. Topsoil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topsoil

    Topsoil is composed of mineral particles and organic matter and usually extends to a depth of 5-10 inches (13–25 cm). Together these make a substrate capable of holding water and air which encourages biological activity. There are generally a high concentration of roots in topsoil since this is where plants obtain most of their vital nutrients.

[4] This the current system of measurement of farm land. All Units. 1 karam × 1 karam = 1 sq. karam. 5.5 feet × 5.5 feet = 30.25 sq. feet. 30.25 square feet = 1 Sarsai.

  4. Bearing capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearing_capacity

    Bearing capacity. In geotechnical engineering, bearing capacity is the capacity of soil to support the loads applied to the ground. The bearing capacity of soil is the maximum average contact pressure between the foundation and the soil which should not produce shear failure in the soil. Ultimate bearing capacity is the theoretical maximum ...

  7. Soil survey - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_survey

    Soil surveys apply the principles of soil science and draw heavily from geomorphology, theories of soil formation, physical geography, and analysis of vegetation and land use patterns. Primary data for the soil survey are acquired by field sampling and by remote sensing. Remote sensing principally uses aerial photography, but LiDAR and other ...

  8. Storie index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storie_index

    The Storie index is a method of soil rating based on soil characteristics that govern the land's potential use and productivity capacity.Developed by R. Earl Storie at University of California, Berkeley in the 1930s as a method of land valuation, it is independent of other physical or economic factors that might determine the desirability of growing certain plants in a given location.

  9. Soil compaction (agriculture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_compaction_(agriculture)

    Soil compaction, also known as soil structure degradation, is the increase of bulk density or decrease in porosity of soil due to externally or internally applied loads. [ 1] Compaction can adversely affect nearly all physical, chemical and biological properties and functions of soil. [ 2] Together with soil erosion, it is regarded as the ...
