Soil bulk density is measured by taking a known volume of soil, drying it in an oven at 105C, and dividing the dry weight by the bulk volume at field moisture, explains Dr Morgan.

Quantifying changes in SOC, either carbon sequestration or losses into the atmosphere, requires accurate determination of soil bulk density. The research by Professor Owen Fenton and colleagues ...
