Use this worktable to see the impact of soil texture on bulk density.

Enter values for percent sand and percent clay and click on [Calculate] to obtain the soil texture class. Bulk density values are only available for the shaded area as shown in the Canadian texture triangle. Therefore, bulk density values may not be available for all your input values.
