  "definition": "1. The mass of a soil per unit bulk volume of soil; the mass is measured after all water has been extracted and the volume includes the volume of the soil itself and the pore volume.\n\n2. Mass per unit of volume.\n\n3. Bulk density is the mass of material per unit volume; in logging, it is the density, in grams per cubic centimeter, of the rock with pore volume filled with fluid.\n\n4. The amount of mass of a soil per unit volume of soil; where mass is measured after all water has been extracted and total volume includes the volume of the soil itself and the volume of air space (voids) between the soil grains.",
