Soil texture, which is determined by the size distribution of the particles in a soil (sand, silt, and clay), is a fundamental characteristic that is not substantially modified by human activity. While humans can add materials to soil, changing its overall composition to some extent, the inherent texture of the soil (the basic distribution of particle sizes) is a natural characteristic that is not easily or substantially altered by human actions.
