How to Survive an Abduction or Hostage Situation. Community Q&A. One minute you're getting in your car to go to work and the next you're bound and gagged in the back of a speeding van.

Soil Texture and Soil Structure. Soil texture and soil structure are both unique properties of the soil that will have a profound effect on the behavior of soils, such as water holding capacity, nutrient retention and supply, drainage, and nutrient leaching.
Soil structure. Soil structure describes the arrangement of the solid parts of the soil and of the pore space located between them. It is determined by how individual soil granules clump, bind together, and aggregate, resulting in the arrangement of soil pores between them. Soil structure has a major influence on water and air movement, biological activity, root growth and seedling emergence.
