Comparative Study on the Fractal Dimensions of Soil Particle Size

Abstract The application of fractal theory provides a new approach for the study of soil science. The calculation of fractal dimension is the basis. The purpose of the study is to find a suitable method for calculating the fractal dimension of the soil particle size and to analyse how the fractal dimension reflects soil properties. We mostly use comparative analysis to study. Comparing the mass fractal dimension method with volume fractal dimension method, we analyze their advantages and disadvantages, and the fractal dimension performance of the soil in different land types.
