What reading level is Soils, How to Handle And Improve Them book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The soil bacteria that make fertility cannot thrive without air; the more thoroughly and the more deeply a soil can be aerated the richer it should be, and the better should plants grow upon it. The depth to which air penetrates the soil increases when the water-table is lowered by drainage, hence a larger feeding area is presented to the roots.
Draining a Soil Makes it More Moist. — Al- though it may seem a paradox, draining a soil may 198 SOILS make it more moist at the times when moisture is... needed most. This is a feature of drainage that many people find hard to understand, yet the explanation is very simple. Drainage lowers the water-table, thus increasing the volume of soil above it in which the roots of plants can feed, for they can use only film water. The larger the area of soil above the water-table, the more film water there is for the plants to use. They root deeper and so are farther away from the dry surface soil.
Furthermore, a soil is more mellow after being drained than before, so it can absorb and hold more water as film moisture, and its ability to draw up water from the water-table is increased.
