Soil aggregate size distribution affects how much water soil can hold. Different types of soil have different size aggregates that impact water retention. Small and large aggregates play a big role in how much water soil can hold at different levels of dryness. Knowing the size of soil aggregates can help predict how much water soil can retain.
