<p>A typical soil is about 50% solids (45% mineral and 5% organic matter), and 50% voids (or pores) of which half is occupied by water and half by gas.<sup id="cite_ref-McClellan2017_33-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-McClellan2017-33">&#91;33&#93;</a></sup> The percent soil mineral and organic content can be treated as a constant (in the short term), while the percent soil water and gas content is considered highly variable whereby a rise in one is simultaneously balanced by a reduction in the other.<sup id="cite_ref-34" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-34">&#91;34&#93;</a></sup> The pore space allows for the infiltration and movement of air and water, both of which are critical for life existing in soil.<sup id="cite_ref-Vannier1987_35-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Vannier1987-35">&#91;35&#93;</a></sup> Compaction, a common problem with soils, reduces this space, preventing air and water from reaching plant roots and soil organisms.<sup id="cite_ref-36" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-36">&#91;36&#93;</a></sup>
</p><p>Given sufficient time, an undifferentiated soil will evolve a <a href="/wiki/Soil_horizon" title="Soil horizon">soil profile</a> which consists of two or more layers, referred to as <a href="/wiki/Soil_horizon" title="Soil horizon">soil horizons</a>, that differ in one or more properties such as in their texture, structure, density, porosity, consistency, temperature, color, and reactivity.<sup id="cite_ref-Buol_10-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Buol-10">&#91;10&#93;</a></sup> The horizons differ greatly in thickness and generally lack sharp boundaries; their development is dependent on the type of <a href="/wiki/Parent_material" title="Parent material">parent material</a>, the processes that modify those parent materials, and the <a href="/wiki/Soil#soil-forming_factors" title="Soil">soil-forming factors</a> that influence those processes. The biological influences on soil properties are strongest near the surface, while the geochemical influences on soil properties increase with depth. Mature soil profiles typically include three basic master horizons: A, B, and C. The <a href="/wiki/Solum" title="Solum">solum</a> normally includes the A and B horizons. The living component of the soil is largely confined to the solum, and is generally more prominent in the A horizon.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTESimonson195717_37-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESimonson195717-37">&#91;37&#93;</a></sup>
</p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Soil_texture" title="Soil texture">soil texture</a> is determined by the relative proportions of the individual particles of sand, silt, and clay that make up the soil. The interaction of the individual mineral particles with organic matter, water, gases via <a href="/wiki/Biotic_component" title="Biotic component">biotic</a> and <a href="/wiki/Abiotic" class="mw-redirect" title="Abiotic">abiotic</a> processes causes those particles to <a href="/wiki/Flocculate" class="mw-redirect" title="Flocculate">flocculate</a> (stick together) to form <a href="/wiki/Soil_structure" title="Soil structure">aggregates</a> or <a href="/wiki/Ped" title="Ped">peds</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Bronick2005_38-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bronick2005-38">&#91;38&#93;</a></sup> Where these aggregates can be identified, a soil can be said to be developed, and can be described further in terms of color, <a href="/wiki/Porosity" title="Porosity">porosity</a>, <a href="/wiki/Consistency" title="Consistency">consistency</a>, reaction (<a href="/wiki/Acidity" class="mw-redirect" title="Acidity">acidity</a>), etc.
</p><p>Water is a critical agent in soil development due to its involvement in the dissolution, precipitation, erosion, transport, and deposition of the materials of which a soil is composed.<sup id="cite_ref-39" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-39">&#91;39&#93;</a></sup> The mixture of water and dissolved or suspended materials that occupy the soil <a href="/wiki/Pore_space" class="mw-redirect" title="Pore space">pore space</a> is called the soil solution. Since <a href="#Water">soil water</a> is never pure water, but contains hundreds of dissolved organic and mineral substances, it may be more accurately called the soil solution.

</p><p>Soils supply plants with nutrients, most of which are held in place by particles of <a href="/wiki/Soil_texture#Soil_separates" title="Soil texture">clay</a> and <a href="/wiki/Soil_organic_matter" title="Soil organic matter">organic matter</a> (<a href="/wiki/Colloid" title="Colloid">colloids</a>)<sup id="cite_ref-41" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-41">&#91;41&#93;</a></sup> The nutrients may be <a href="/wiki/Adsorption" title="Adsorption">adsorbed</a> on clay mineral surfaces, bound within clay minerals (<a href="/wiki/Absorption_(chemistry)" title="Absorption (chemistry)">absorbed</a>), or bound within organic compounds as part of the living <a href="/wiki/Soil_organism" class="mw-redirect" title="Soil organism">organisms</a> or dead <a href="/wiki/Soil_organic_matter" title="Soil organic matter">soil organic matter</a>. These bound nutrients interact with soil water to buffer the soil solution composition (attenuate changes in the soil solution) as soils wet up or dry out, as plants take up nutrients, as salts are leached, or as acids or alkalis are added.<sup id="cite_ref-42" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-42">&#91;42&#93;</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-CEC_43-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-CEC-43">&#91;43&#93;</a></sup>
</p><p>Plant nutrient availability is affected by <a href="/wiki/Soil_pH" title="Soil pH">soil pH</a>, which is a measure of the hydrogen ion activity in the soil solution.

Once in the soil-plant system, most nutrients are recycled through living organisms, plant and microbial residues (<a href="/wiki/Soil_organic_matter" title="Soil organic matter">soil organic matter</a>), mineral-bound forms, and the soil solution. Both living <a href="/wiki/Soil_microbe" class="mw-redirect" title="Soil microbe">microorganisms</a> and <a href="/wiki/Soil_organic_matter" title="Soil organic matter">soil organic matter</a> are of critical importance to this recycling, and thereby to soil formation and soil fertility.<sup id="cite_ref-46" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-46">&#91;46&#93;</a></sup> Microbial activity in soils may release nutrients from minerals or organic matter for use by plants and other microorganisms, sequester (incorporate) them into living cells, or cause their loss from the soil by <a href="/wiki/Volatilisation" title="Volatilisation">volatilisation</a> (loss to the atmosphere as gases) or <a href="/wiki/Leaching_(agriculture)" title="Leaching (agriculture)">leaching</a>.

<p>Soil formation, or <a href="/wiki/Pedogenesis" title="Pedogenesis">pedogenesis</a>, is the combined effect of physical, chemical, biological and <a href="/wiki/Human_impact_on_the_environment" title="Human impact on the environment">anthropogenic</a> processes working on soil parent material. Soil is said to be formed when organic matter has accumulated and <a href="/wiki/Colloid" title="Colloid">colloids</a> are washed downward, leaving deposits of clay, humus, iron oxide, carbonate, and gypsum, producing a distinct layer called the B horizon. This is a somewhat arbitrary definition as mixtures of sand, silt, clay and humus will support biological and agricultural activity before that time. These constituents are moved from one level to another by water and animal activity. As a result, layers (horizons) form in the soil profile. The alteration and movement of materials within a soil causes the formation of distinctive <a href="/wiki/Soil_horizons" class="mw-redirect" title="Soil horizons">soil horizons</a>. However, more recent definitions of soil embrace soils without any organic matter, such as those <a href="/wiki/Regolith" title="Regolith">regoliths</a> that formed on Mars<sup id="cite_ref-72" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-72">&#91;72&#93;</a></sup> and analogous conditions in planet Earth deserts.<sup id="cite_ref-73" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-73">&#91;73&#93;</a></sup>
</p><p>An example of the development of a soil would begin with the weathering of lava flow bedrock, which would produce the purely mineral-based parent material from which the soil texture forms. Soil development would proceed most rapidly from bare rock of recent flows in a warm climate, under heavy and frequent rainfall.

Water may then enter the cracks and freeze and cause the physical splitting of material along a path toward the center of the rock, while temperature gradients within the rock can cause exfoliation of "shells". Cycles of wetting and drying cause soil particles to be abraded to a finer size, as does the physical rubbing of material as it is moved by wind, water, and gravity. Water can deposit within rocks minerals that expand upon drying, thereby stressing the rock. Finally, organisms reduce parent material in size and create crevices and pores through the mechanical action of plant roots and the digging activity of animals.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEDonahueMillerShickluna19772831_87-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEDonahueMillerShickluna19772831-87">&#91;87&#93;</a></sup> Grinding of parent material by rock-eating animals also contributes to incipient soil formation.<sup id="cite_ref-88" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-88">&#91;88&#93;</a></sup></li>

</p><p>Steep slopes encourage rapid soil loss by <a href="/wiki/Erosion" title="Erosion">erosion</a> and allow less rainfall to enter the soil before running off and hence, little mineral deposition in lower profiles. In semiarid regions, the lower effective rainfall on steeper slopes also results in less complete vegetative cover, so there is less plant contribution to soil formation. For all of these reasons, steep slopes prevent the formation of soil from getting very far ahead of soil destruction. Therefore, soils on steep terrain tend to have rather shallow, poorly developed profiles in comparison to soils on nearby, more level sites.<sup id="cite_ref-117" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-117">&#91;117&#93;</a></sup>
</p><p>In <a href="/wiki/Swale_(landform)" title="Swale (landform)">swales</a> and depressions where runoff water tends to concentrate, the regolith is usually more deeply weathered and soil profile development is more advanced. However, in the lowest landscape positions, water may saturate the regolith to such a degree that drainage and aeration are restricted.

<li>Angular and subangular: Blocky peds are imperfect cubes, 550&#160;mm, angular have sharp edges, subangular have rounded edges. Tend to form in the B-horizon where clay has accumulated and indicate poor water penetration.</li>
<li>Granular and Crumb: Spheroid peds of polyhedrons, 110&#160;mm, often found in the A-horizon in the presence of organic material. Crumb peds are more porous and are considered ideal.</li></ol></li>

<p>Nutrients in the soil are taken up by the plant through its roots, and in particular its <a href="/wiki/Root_hairs" class="mw-redirect" title="Root hairs">root hairs</a>. To be taken up by a plant, a nutrient element must be located near the root surface; however, the supply of nutrients in contact with the root is rapidly depleted within a distance of ca. 2&#160;mm.<sup id="cite_ref-512" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-512">&#91;512&#93;</a></sup> There are three basic mechanisms whereby nutrient ions dissolved in the soil solution are brought into contact with plant roots:

<li><a href="/wiki/Diffusion" title="Diffusion">Diffusion</a> within water</li>

However, in the case of phosphorus, diffusion is needed to supplement mass flow. For the most part, nutrient ions must travel some distance in the soil solution to reach the root surface. This movement can take place by mass flow, as when dissolved nutrients are carried along with the soil water flowing toward a root that is actively drawing water from the soil. In this type of movement, the nutrient ions are somewhat analogous to leaves floating down a stream. In addition, nutrient ions continually move by diffusion from areas of greater concentration toward the nutrient-depleted areas of lower concentration around the root surface. That process is due to random motion, also called <a href="/wiki/Brownian_motion" title="Brownian motion">Brownian motion</a>, of molecules within a gradient of decreasing concentration.<sup id="cite_ref-515" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-515">&#91;515&#93;</a></sup> By this means, plants can continue to take up nutrients even at night, when water is only slowly absorbed into the roots as <a href="/wiki/Transpiration" title="Transpiration">transpiration</a> has almost stopped following <a href="/wiki/Stoma" title="Stoma">stomatal</a> closure.

<p>In the above table, phosphorus and potassium nutrients move more by diffusion than they do by mass flow in the soil water solution, as they are rapidly taken up by the roots creating a concentration of almost zero near the roots (the plants cannot transpire enough water to draw more of those nutrients near the roots). The very steep concentration gradient is of greater influence in the movement of those ions than is the movement of those by mass flow.<sup id="cite_ref-518" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-518">&#91;518&#93;</a></sup> The movement by mass flow requires the transpiration of water from the plant causing water and solution ions to also move toward the roots.<sup id="cite_ref-519" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-519">&#91;519&#93;</a></sup> Movement by root interception is slowest as the plants must extend their roots.<sup id="cite_ref-520" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-520">&#91;520&#93;</a></sup>

<p>Soil organic matter is made up of <a href="/wiki/Organic_compounds" class="mw-redirect" title="Organic compounds">organic compounds</a> and includes plant, animal and microbial material, both living and dead. A typical soil has a biomass composition of 70% microorganisms, 22% macrofauna, and 8% roots. The living component of an acre of soil may include 900&#160;lb of earthworms, 2400&#160;lb of fungi, 1500&#160;lb of bacteria, 133&#160;lb of protozoa and 890&#160;lb of arthropods and algae.<sup id="cite_ref-598" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-598">&#91;598&#93;</a></sup>
</p><p>A small part of the organic matter consists of the living cells such as bacteria, molds, and actinomycetes that work to break down the dead organic matter. Were it not for the action of these micro-organisms, the entire carbon dioxide part of the atmosphere would be sequestered as organic matter in the soil.
</p><p>Chemically, organic matter is classed as follows:
</p>
<ol><li>Polysaccharides
<ol><li>cellulose</li>
<li>hemicellulose</li>
<li>starch</li>
<li>pectin</li></ol></li>
<li>Lignins</li>
<li>Proteins</li></ol>
<p>Most living things in soils, including plants, insects, bacteria, and fungi, are dependent on organic matter for nutrients and/or energy. Soils have organic compounds in varying degrees of decomposition which rate is dependent on the temperature, soil moisture, and aeration. Bacteria and fungi feed on the raw organic matter, which are fed upon by amoebas, which in turn are fed upon by nematodes and arthropods. Organic matter holds soils open, allowing the infiltration of air and water, and may hold as much as twice its weight in water. Many soils, including desert and rocky-gravel soils, have little or no organic matter. Soils that are all organic matter, such as <a href="/wiki/Peat" title="Peat">peat</a> (<a href="/wiki/Histosols" class="mw-redirect" title="Histosols">histosols</a>), are infertile.<sup id="cite_ref-Foth1984_599-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Foth1984-599">&#91;599&#93;</a></sup> In its earliest stage of decomposition, the original organic material is often called raw organic matter. The final stage of decomposition is called humus.
</p><p>In grassland, much of the organic matter added to the soil is from the deep, fibrous, grass root systems. By contrast, tree leaves falling on the forest floor are the principal source of soil organic matter in the forest. Another difference is the frequent occurrence in the grasslands of fires that destroy large amounts of aboveground material but stimulate even greater contributions from roots. Also, the much greater acidity under any forests inhibits the action of certain soil organisms that otherwise would mix much of the surface litter into the mineral soil. As a result, the soils under grasslands generally develop a thicker A horizon with a deeper distribution of organic matter than in comparable soils under forests, which characteristically store most of their organic matter in the forest floor (O horizon) and thin A horizon.

<p><a href="/wiki/Humus" title="Humus">Humus</a> refers to organic matter that has been decomposed by soil flora and fauna to the point where it is resistant to further breakdown. Humus usually constitutes only five percent of the soil or less by volume, but it is an essential source of nutrients and adds important textural qualities crucial to <a href="/wiki/Soil_health" title="Soil health">soil health</a> and plant growth. Humus also hold bits of undecomposed organic matter which feed arthropods and worms which further improve the soil. The end product, humus, is soluble in water and forms a weak acid that can attack silicate minerals.<sup id="cite_ref-600" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-600">&#91;600&#93;</a></sup> Humus is a colloid with a high cation and anion exchange capacity that on a dry weight basis is many times greater than that of clay colloids. It also acts as a buffer, like clay, against changes in pH and soil moisture.
</p><p><a href="/wiki/Humic_acid" class="mw-redirect" title="Humic acid">Humic acids</a> and <a href="/wiki/Fulvic_acid" title="Fulvic acid">fulvic acids</a>, which begin as raw organic matter, are important constituents of humus. After the death of plants and animals, microbes begin to feed on the residues, resulting finally in the formation of humus. With decomposition, there is a reduction of water-soluble constituents, <a href="/wiki/Cellulose" title="Cellulose">cellulose</a> and <a href="/wiki/Hemicellulose" title="Hemicellulose">hemicellulose</a>, and nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur. As the residues break down, only stable molecules made of aromatic carbon rings, oxygen and hydrogen remain in the form of <a href="/wiki/Humin" title="Humin">humin</a>, <a href="/wiki/Lignin" title="Lignin">lignin</a> and lignin complexes collectively called humus. While the structure of humus has few nutrients, it is able to attract and hold cation and anion nutrients by weak bonds that can be released into the soil solution in response to changes in soil pH.
</p><p>Lignin is resistant to breakdown and accumulates within the soil. It also reacts with amino acids, which further increases its resistance to decomposition, including enzymatic decomposition by microbes. <a href="/wiki/Fat" title="Fat">Fats</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wax" title="Wax">waxes</a> from plant matter have some resistance to decomposition and persist in soils for a while. Clay soils often have higher organic contents that persist longer than soils without clay as the organic molecules adhere to and are stabilised by the clay. Proteins normally decompose readily, but when bound to clay particles, they become more resistant to decomposition. Clay particles also absorb the enzymes exuded by microbes which would normally break down proteins. The addition of organic matter to clay soils can render that organic matter and any added nutrients inaccessible to plants and microbes for many years. High soil <a href="/wiki/Tannin" title="Tannin">tannin</a> (<a href="/wiki/Polyphenol" title="Polyphenol">polyphenol</a>) content can cause nitrogen to be sequestered in proteins or cause nitrogen immobilisation.<sup id="cite_ref-Verkaik2006_601-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Verkaik2006-601">&#91;601&#93;</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Fierer2001_602-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Fierer2001-602">&#91;602&#93;</a></sup>
</p><p>Humus formation is a process dependent on the amount of plant material added each year and the type of base soil. Both are affected by climate and the type of organisms present. Soils with humus can vary in nitrogen content but typically have 3 to 6&#160;percent nitrogen. Raw organic matter, as a reserve of nitrogen and phosphorus, is a vital component affecting <a href="/wiki/Fertile_soil" class="mw-redirect" title="Fertile soil">soil fertility</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Foth1984_599-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Foth1984-599">&#91;599&#93;</a></sup> Humus also absorbs water, and expands and shrinks between dry and wet states, increasing soil <a href="/wiki/Porosity" title="Porosity">porosity</a>. Humus is less stable than the soil's mineral constituents, as it is reduced by microbial decomposition, and over time its concentration diminshes without the addition of new organic matter. However, humus may persist over centuries if not millennia.

<p>Soil is classified into categories in order to understand relationships between different soils and to determine the suitability of a soil in a particular region. One of the first classification systems was developed by Russian scientist <a href="/wiki/Dokuchaev" class="mw-redirect" title="Dokuchaev">Dokuchaev</a> around 1880. It was modified a number of times by American and European researchers, and developed into the system commonly used until the 1960s. It was based on the idea that soils have a particular morphology based on the materials and factors that form them. In the 1960s, a different classification system began to emerge which focused on <a href="/wiki/Soil_morphology" title="Soil morphology">soil morphology</a> instead of parental materials and soil-forming factors.

<p><a href="/wiki/Desertification" title="Desertification">Desertification</a> is an environmental process of ecosystem degradation in arid and semi-arid regions, often caused by human activity. It is a common misconception that <a href="/wiki/Drought" title="Drought">droughts</a> cause desertification. Droughts are common in arid and semiarid lands. Well-managed lands can recover from drought when the rains return. Soil management tools include maintaining soil nutrient and organic matter levels, reduced tillage and increased cover. These practices help to control erosion and maintain productivity during periods when moisture is available. Continued land abuse during droughts, however, increases land degradation. Increased population and livestock pressure on marginal lands accelerates desertification.

Erosion is distinguished from <a href="/wiki/Weathering" title="Weathering">weathering</a>, since erosion also transports eroded soil away from its place of origin (soil in transit may be described as <a href="/wiki/Sediment" title="Sediment">sediment</a>). Erosion is an intrinsic natural process, but in many places it is greatly increased by human activity, especially poor <a href="/wiki/Land_use" title="Land use">land use</a> practices. These include <a href="/wiki/Agriculture" title="Agriculture">agricultural</a> activities which leave the soil bare during times of heavy rain or strong winds, <a href="/wiki/Overgrazing" title="Overgrazing">overgrazing</a>, <a href="/wiki/Deforestation" title="Deforestation">deforestation</a>, and improper <a href="/wiki/Construction" title="Construction">construction</a> activity. Improved management can limit erosion. <a href="/wiki/Soil_conservation#Erosion_prevention" title="Soil conservation">Soil conservation techniques</a> which are employed include changes of land use (such as replacing erosion-prone <a href="/wiki/Crop" title="Crop">crops</a> with <a href="/wiki/Grass" class="mw-redirect" title="Grass">grass</a> or other soil-binding plants), changes to the timing or type of agricultural operations, <a href="/wiki/Terrace_(agriculture)" class="mw-redirect" title="Terrace (agriculture)">terrace</a> building, use of erosion-suppressing cover materials (including <a href="/wiki/Cover_crop#Water_management" title="Cover crop">cover crops</a> and <a href="/wiki/Soil_bioengineering#Technical_functions" title="Soil bioengineering">other plants</a>), limiting disturbance during construction, and avoiding construction during erosion-prone periods.
</p><p>A serious and long-running water erosion problem occurs in <a href="/wiki/China" title="China">China</a>, on the middle reaches of the <a href="/wiki/Yellow_River" title="Yellow River">Yellow River</a> and the upper reaches of the <a href="/wiki/Yangtze_River" class="mw-redirect" title="Yangtze River">Yangtze River</a>. From the Yellow River, over 1.6&#160;billion tons of sediment flow each year into the ocean. The <a href="/wiki/Sediment" title="Sediment">sediment</a> originates primarily from water erosion (gully erosion) in the <a href="/wiki/Loess_Plateau" title="Loess Plateau">Loess Plateau</a> region of northwest China.
</p><p>Soil piping is a particular form of soil erosion that occurs below the soil surface. It causes levee and dam failure, as well as <a href="/wiki/Sinkhole" title="Sinkhole">sink hole</a> formation. Turbulent flow removes soil starting at the mouth of the seep flow and the subsoil erosion advances up-gradient.<sup id="cite_ref-627" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-627">&#91;627&#93;</a></sup> The term sand boil is used to describe the appearance of the discharging end of an active soil pipe.<sup id="cite_ref-628" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-628">&#91;628&#93;</a></sup>

Consequences include corrosion damage, reduced plant growth, erosion due to loss of plant cover and soil structure, and water quality problems due to sedimentation. Salination occurs due to a combination of natural and human-caused processes. Arid conditions favour salt accumulation. This is especially apparent when soil parent material is saline. <a href="/wiki/Surface_irrigation" title="Surface irrigation">Irrigation</a> of arid lands is especially problematic.<sup id="cite_ref-629" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-629">&#91;629&#93;</a></sup> All irrigation water has some level of salinity.

<p>Soils which contain high levels of particular clays, such as <a href="/wiki/Smectite" class="mw-redirect" title="Smectite">smectites</a>, are often very fertile. For example, the smectite-rich clays of Thailand's <a href="/wiki/Central_Thailand" title="Central Thailand">Central Plains</a> are among the most productive in the world.
</p><p>Many farmers in tropical areas, however, struggle to retain organic matter in the soils they work. In recent years, for example, productivity has declined in the low-clay soils of northern Thailand. Farmers initially responded by adding organic matter from termite mounds, but this was unsustainable in the long-term. Scientists experimented with adding <a href="/wiki/Bentonite" title="Bentonite">bentonite</a>, one of the smectite family of clays, to the soil. In field trials, conducted by scientists from the <a href="/wiki/International_Water_Management_Institute" title="International Water Management Institute">International Water Management Institute</a> in cooperation with <a href="/wiki/Khon_Kaen_University" title="Khon Kaen University">Khon Kaen University</a> and local farmers, this had the effect of helping retain water and nutrients. Supplementing the farmer's usual practice with a single application of 200&#160;kg bentonite per rai (6.26 rai = 1 hectare) resulted in an average yield increase of 73%. More work showed that applying bentonite to degraded sandy soils reduced the risk of crop failure during drought years.
</p><p>In 2008, three years after the initial trials, <a href="/wiki/International_Water_Management_Institute" title="International Water Management Institute">IWMI</a> scientists conducted a survey among 250 farmers in northeast Thailand, half of whom had applied bentonite to their fields. The average improvement for those using the clay addition was 18% higher than for non-clay users. Using the clay had enabled some farmers to switch to growing vegetables, which need more fertile soil. This helped to increase their income. The researchers estimated that 200 farmers in northeast Thailand and 400 in Cambodia had adopted the use of clays, and that a further 20,000 farmers were introduced to the new technique.<sup id="cite_ref-Water_Management_Institute2010_632-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Water_Management_Institute2010-632">&#91;632&#93;</a></sup>
</p><p>If the soil is too high in clay, adding gypsum, washed river sand and organic matter will balance the composition. Adding organic matter (like <a href="/wiki/Ramial_chipped_wood" title="Ramial chipped wood">ramial chipped wood</a> for instance) to soil which is depleted in nutrients and too high in sand will boost its quality.<sup id="cite_ref-633" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-633">&#91;633&#93;</a></sup>
