How does the size of the soil particles impact the soil's permeability (movement of water)?

Biology
1 answer:
Usimov [2.4K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Water moves by gravity into the open pore spaces in the soil, and the size of the soil particles and their spacing determines how much water can flow in. Wide pore spacing at the soil surface increases the rate of water infiltration, so coarse soils have a higher infiltration rate than fine soils.

How does soil particle size affect permeability?

But permeability is a different thing. It increases as particle size increases. By definition, permeability is a MEASURE OF EASE with which fluids will flow though a porous rock, soil or sediment. ... That means capillarity increase as particle sizes decreases.

Explain why the formation of abscission layer causes sugar to accumulate in leaves.
kramer
Abscission layer is the layer of cutinized parenchyma cells that develops in the abscission zone. The abscission zone form across the base of the plant part, where the break eventually occurs. During the photosyntesis chlorophyll using sunlight produces sugar and storches which are used as food by plant. And sugar accumulate in leaves.

An easy way to calculate the amount of energy available at each level is to
Contact [7]

Answer:

Use the rule that 10% of the energy is transferred between layers.

Explanation:

Energy is transferred between layers of a food pyramid. That means that the  producers at the bottom of the pyramid (e.g. green plants) provide energy to the primary consumers (e.g. rabbits), which are eaten by and provide energy to the secondary consumers (e.g. foxes).

However, very little of the energy is actually transferred to the next layer, roughly 10%. So an easy way to calculate the energy available at each level is to calculate 10% of what was available from the previous level. So if there is 600 kJ available from the primary consumers, then 60 kJ are transferred to the secondary consumers
