The texture and structure of the soil dictate
A) potential evapotranspiration.
B) available pore spaces (i.e., the soil's porosity).
C) flow of water through soil (i.e., the soil's permeability).
D) hygroscopic water.
E) Both B and C are correct.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The porosity and permeability of the soil, which are determined by the soil's texture and structure, are important factors that influence the flow of water through the soil and the availability of pore spaces for the roots to absorb water and nutrients. Therefore, both statements B (available pore spaces) and C (flow of water through soil) are correct. The other choices are not directly related to the texture and structure of the soil.
