Total Volume of Soil
Total volume of soil, abbreviated as \( V_t \), is the volume of soil plus the total volume of air and water.
Total Volume of Soil formula |

\( V_t = V_s + V_v \) (Total Volume of Soil) \( V_s = V_t - V_v \) \( V_v = V_t - V_s \) |

\( V_t \) = total volume of soil | \(ft^3\) | \(m^3\) |
\( V_s \) = volume of solid soil | \(ft^3\) | \(m^3\) |
\( V_v \) = volume of voids (air and water) | \(ft^3\) | \(m^3\) |
