A high percentage of sand particles contributes to low porosity of soils.
What is porosity?
Porosity is a characteristic that determines the level of pores in soils.
When it comes to porosity, the component of soil with the highest is clay, followed by silt, and then sand.
Sand particles are large and leave little pores as compared to the particles of silt and clay which are smaller.
Thus, the more sand particles in soils, the lower the porosity.
