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 0.0012 t per L.
Use a measured density for a specific batch, grade or supplier; the table value is a reference, not a product specification.
