Indicative Soil Bulk Density mapping based on Irish Soils Information System

Bulk density (BD) reflects the soil?s ability to function for structural support, water and solute movement, and soil aeration and also allows concentration data of elements to be presented on a mass and/or volume basis. It is used to express soil physical, chemical and biological measurements on a volumetric basis for assessment of soil ecosystem services and thus comparisons between management systems.
