The texture and structure of the soil dictate all of the following except
A) the wilting point
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) the field capacity.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The texture and structure of the soil influence the availability and movement of water through soil (porosity and permeability), but do not directly impact hygroscopic water. Hygroscopic water refers to the thin layer of water that is attracted to soil particles through adsorption forces, regardless of soil structure or texture.
