Pedotransfer functions for Irish soils – estimation of bulk density (ρb) per horizon type [PDF]
SOIL, 2016 Soil bulk density is a key property in defining soil characteristics. It describes the packing structure of the soil and is also essential for the measurement of soil carbon stock and nutrient assessment. In many older surveys this property was neglected
