Well-structured soils improve water infiltration and root growth, while poorly structured soils can lead to compaction and poor drainage. Reference: Mar Bartolome, C., et al. (2018).

Pearson. MINERAL PARTICLES is the largest component of soil, typically comprising about 45% of its volume. It includes sand, silt, and clay, which originate from the weathering of rocks. The mineral particles give soil its texture and influence its physical and chemical properties. Reference: Brady, N. C., & Weil, R. R. (2010). The Nature and Properties of Soils. 15th Edition.

Soil and Water: Physical Principles and Processes. Academic Press. WATER usually occupies about 20-30% of soil volume. It is crucial for the hydration of plants and serves as a medium for nutrient transport. Reference: Hillel, D. (2004). Soil and Water: Physical Principles and Processes.
