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 0.00062591 ton (US) per pt (US).

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