Mechanistic Definition of Soil
Solid
Particles of different sizes
and shapes
Clay, Silt, Sand, etc
Liquid
Surface tension of water
Air
Important for root growth
Approach #1
Approach #2
Model individual particles
Model soil as a continuum
Challenges:
Notes:
Clay particles are < 0.002 mm 1
mm3 of soil will contain ~ 106
particles
Capturing effect of moisture and
other microscopic interactions
The leader in the field
Only average behavior of soil is captured
Advantages:
