Definition and Background
Porosity is concentration of the spaces between particles of a material. In soil science, pore spaces are indicative of soil types, composition, and particle size. Similar to porosity is permeability, the measure of a material to transport fluids, while porosity is the measure of a material to hold fluids. Together porosity and permeability show the drainage capabilities of soils, rocks, and other substrates.
