Intro to Soil Science
Chroma refers to the intensity or purity of a color in soil, often measured as the degree of saturation of a specific hue. This aspect of color is crucial in understanding soil properties, as it influences how soil interacts with light and heat, affecting temperature and biological activity. Higher chroma indicates more vibrant colors, while lower chroma suggests duller shades, which can indicate organic matter content or mineral composition.
