Multifractal analysis of particle size distributions in soil

It is not enough to rely on simple power law as a means of measuring particle size distributions in air, water and soil. When utilized against the context of fractal dimension, the method comes up with an approximation of the geometrical features of particles and characteristics of aggregates in terms of their density and porosity. There is an alternative method of sealing identified as multifractal, which addresses the inadequacy of using the simple power law. Data on soil grain size distributions were studies to illustrate how much more appropriate it would be to use multifractal behavior.
