Clay-rich soils have low saturated hydraulic conductivity due to a highly tortuous flow path. Conversely, sandy soils have larger pores and lower tortuosity that facilitate rapid water flow.

To address this ongoing need, this research develops mix-designs that consist entirely of geo- and bio-based materials, primarily observing an integration of clay-rich raw soil with bio-based, ...

It becomes compacted when wet and cracks in the sun. Loamy soil is a versatile blend of sand, silt, and clay, making it ideal for a wide range of plants. It has good drainage and is rich in vitamins ...
