'"I "'HE soil is a complex porous system which is •»made up of various-sized pores. Not only does a wide variation exist between soils as to the distribution and amount of a particular size of pore, but also the porosity relations of a given soil change from one season to the next. Several investigators (2, 4, 8) have suggested the idea that the size distribution of pores should be directly related to soil structure and to definite soil physical properties. As yet, however, very little has been accomplished as to isolating those relationships.
