Answer 1

Porosity is a measure of a soil's ability to hold water. It refers to the volume of pore spaces in the soil relative to the volume of soil itself, which affects how much water and air the soil can retain. While porosity can influence the retention of nutrients and salts indirectly, its primary function is related to water retention.
