The total volume of soil is equal to the bulk volume of soil minus the volume of water in the soil.<\/p>\n<p>The bulk density of soil is the mass of soil per unit volume of soil.

The total volume of soil is equal to the volume of the soil particles plus the volume of water in the soil.<\/p>\n<p>The water content of soil is the ratio of the mass of water in the soil to the mass of dry soil.
