What is Supersaturated in Soil?
There are a few parameters that you can use to judge whether a soil is organic or inorganic. Organic soils have fairly lower bulk densities than inorganic soils (0.2 to 0.3 as compared to 1.2 to 1.5). Organic soils will feel significantly lighter. Organic soils can retain way more water than inorganRead more
There are a few parameters that you can use to judge whether a soil is organic or inorganic.
Organic soils have fairly lower bulk densities than inorganic soils (0.2 to 0.3 as compared to 1.2 to 1.5). Organic soils will feel significantly lighter.
Organic soils can retain way more water than inorganic soils (in proportions if their own densities).
The color of organic soils is usually darker than inorganic soils. But this is not a good parameter for comparison since the color is affected by other things as well apart from organic nature.
Cation exchange capacity (CEC) is higher in organic soils (4 times as that of inorganic soils). This means that organic soils will have a lower pH, higher exchangeable hydrogen, more calcium and magnesium ions, and higher exchangeable calcium content.

Basically in soil there is 3 part Solids partical Air Water When water added to soil, at that time soil become saturated. And when air contain replace by water and soil become fully saturated at that time soil have two part one is water and one is solid partical. If we add more water than fulRead more
Basically in soil there is 3 part
When water added to soil, at that time soil become saturated. And when air contain replace by water and soil become fully saturated at that time soil have two part one is water and one is solid partical.
If we add more water than fully saturation, hence saturation of soil is 100% or more than that, is called the supersaturated stage.
Water content more than shrinkage limit called supersaturated stage
