Silty clay soil surpasses sandy loam in moisture content by 68.76%
This study looked at how Conocarpus trees affect soil properties in two different types of soil. They collected soil samples from two locations, one with silty clay soil and the other with sandy loam soil. The results showed that the silty clay soil had higher moisture content and mean weight diameter compared to the sandy loam soil. The bulk density and soil penetration resistance were lower in the silty clay soil. Unplanted soil had higher moisture content, bulk density, and soil penetration resistance than planted soil. Soil depth also played a role, with the deeper soil layer having higher moisture content and bulk density.
