Soil data required 1

[LoganR]

Would anybody be able to point me in the direction of reliable soil data. I am searching for as much data as possible with the parameters of porosity or void ratio, particle size distribution (PSD) and permeability included. I have been searching for a while now and have got a bit of data but nowhere near enough. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards

Logan

It is doubtful (maybe to actually find) that extensive study has been done. I would find the various older text books that would have case histories - older papers. Have you searched the agronomy type sources - they are quite interested in porosity/void ratio for plant growth. I'm sorry I don't have anything 'extensive' on the subject specifically.

Logan;
If you are in the USA, the most detailed soils information I am aware of is through the NRCS. The following is a link to the web soil survey:

. If you are elsewhere or this is not detailed enough, I recommend contracting with a geotechnical engineer to obtain the correct data. Good Luck!
