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, volume is calculated as mass divided by density after normalizing the units to kilograms and cubic meters. The resulting page multiplier is 0.00352229 cup (US) per g.
Use a measured density for a specific batch, grade or supplier; the table value is a reference, not a product specification.
