Soil with good structure is more stable. Clay textures are often more stable than sand textures because they have better structure, however, a mix of particle sizes (and pore sizes) is best for engineering (just as it is best for growing crops). Therefore, before understanding the causes of reduced agricultural productivity, conservation specialists study the quality of soil which helps us to understand the water-holding capacity.
