Quantitative Models to Study the Soil Porosity as Function of Soil Resistivity

Abstract

Soil degradation is a phenomenon of land subsidence caused by humans. The purpose of this study was to determine the quantitative models of soil porosity. The method used in this research was to measure ground resistance, and determine the value of soil resistivity. Soil porosity was determined by determining the value of the soil volume weight, density of particles, subsequently determined porosity value of land. Based on the research, it has been found quantitative models for the relationship between soil porosity and soil resistivity.
