Porosity is the value used to describe how much empty, or void, space is present in a given sample. This attribute is commonly measured in regards to soil, since appropriate porosity levels are necessary for plants to grow. Porosity can be calculated theoretically using equations and given values, which is the case when you are faced with exam questions. Porosity can also be determined by finding the values needed to solve the equations experimentally, either in the lab or in the field. | Porosity is the value used to describe how much empty, or void, space is present in a given sample.
