High Speed Rail (Crewe – Manchester) Environmental Statement, Glossary, abbreviations and references, published by the Department for Transport in 2022, defines soil structure as: ‘The combination or aggregation of soil particles into larger compound units (known as peds) with pore spaces and channels between that allow the flow of air and water and the penetration of roots. The secondary units are characterised and classified on the basis of size, shape and degree of development.’
