A close relationship between organic-matter content and bulk density was found in the acid till forest soils of the Green Mountains of Vermont. Reasonably good estimates of bulk density can be made from determinations of organic matter content. Thus, the difficulties of direct determination of bulk density in these stony soils can be avoided. A method of determining bulk density, including a correction for stone content, is described for use in these stony soils.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
