Image analysis has been used in several studies on soil porosity and structure
(Murphy et al., 1977a,b; Ringrose-Voase and Bullock, 1984). Stoops (2010) mentioned
that good correlations between micromorphological and physical data may be important
in the future. Therefore, a detailed examination of substrate porosity employing this
discipline with image analysis can provide a better understanding of their peculiar
behavior.
