Methodology

Topsoil density and calculation basis

Evidence status: needs-review.

Topsoil bulk density depends on texture, organic matter and compaction.

method: Dry soil mass divided by total volume including pores

composition: Medium-textured soil, about 50% pore space

Source basis: USDA NRCS, Soil Quality Indicators: Bulk Density. What it is / Why it is important: medium-textured soil example. https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/sites/default/files/2023-01/Soil%20Quality-Indicators-Bulk%20Density.pdf Applicability: conditional-comparison.

Identify soil, moisture basis and volume/compaction state.

For this direction, mass is calculated as volume multiplied by density after normalizing the units to cubic meters and kilograms. The resulting page multiplier is 2,645.547 lb per m^3.

Use a measured density for a specific batch, grade or supplier; the table value is a reference, not a product specification.
