Because the soil texture of loamy sand was coarser than clay loam, the bulk density of loamy sand soil was higher than clay loamy soil.
However, a better correlation is obtained with the apparent dry density or bulk density of the sand.
Using average thickness, nutrient concentration, and bulk density of peat and sand layers, a typical cranberry bog stores 750 Mg ha− 1 of carbon, 22,900 kg ha− 1 of nitrogen, and 790 kg ha− 1 of phosphorus.
Extrapolating the average pockmark density to the extended pockmark region amounts to a total of more than 410,000 pockmarks, with a gross volume of around 6,900,000 m3 of relocated sediment equaling about 12,000,000 t of sand (assuming a quartz sand bulk density of 2,650 kg/m3 and a porosity of 0.35).
The texture of the soil used in the study was found to be loamy sand with a bulk density of 1.65 g/cm3.
Also physical properties such as sand, silt, and clay and bulk density of soil sample were determined using procedures described by International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA 2002).
The top part was loosely packed with mimicking debris quartz sand (Euroquarz, Germany) having a bulk density of 1.6 g/cm and a particle of density 2.65 g/cm.
The total bar volume is equivalent to ~ 530 million metric tons of coarse sand, based on an average measured bulk density of 1.4 t/m3 for the bar sediment.
The upper 55 cm soil texture is sandy loam (classification according to soil texture triangle [ 54]) with soil bulk density of 1.3 g/cm, whereas the soil texture at lower level (55/60 to 100 cm) is much course (loamy sand to sand) with the density range of 1.4 1.5 g/cm.
Experiments were conducted using a soil that was 50% sand, 35% silt, and 15% clay; it had a bulk density of 1.5 g/cm3 and a specific density of 2.6 cm− 3.
