　　Particle size distribution (PSD) is one of the most commonly measured physical properties of soil. The fine fractal dimension, Df, and the coarse fractal dimension, Dc, are respectively based on the fine and coarse size fractions of soil particles. Laser diffraction effectively determines the volume PSD of soil. Original and modified methods for determining the Df and Dc of the volume PSD of soil are derived and presented in this work. The modified method is based on the assumption that the relationship between the number of particles and particle size is not linear. Df and Dc are determined using the original and modified methods to analyze volume PSD of 11 soil samples through laser diffraction based on the USDA and ISSS systems. Some soils have coarse fragments ranging from 2 mm to 1 mm (USDA system) or from 2 mm to 0.2 mm (ISSS system) in size, comprising 0 percent of the total volume.As log 0 does not exist, the original and modified methods based on USDA or ISSS systems are unsuitable for estimating Dc. The arithmetic mean of the R2 values of the relevant log-log plots of all soil samples determined using the modified method to estimate Df is larger than that of the original method based on the USDA and ISSS systems. Using the modified method to estimate Df is therefore recommended. The overall trend of the values obtained indicates that the Dfof coarse-textured soil approaches 2. If at least four decimal places are retained in estimations of Df, the probability of achieving identical Df values for any two soil samples with different size fractions is low. In this case, Df helps characterize soil texture. The arithmetic mean of the Df of all soil samples based on the USDA system is greater than that based on the ISSS system. Df is evidently dependent on selected fractions of separates present in a soil related to texture. The performance of the original and modified methods to estimate Df values based on the ISSS system is not good as indicated by F-test at the significance level of 0.05. The results of this study indicate that the original and modified methods based on the ISSS system are both not useful in estimating Df. we recommend that future studies of fine fractal dimensions be made with USDA particle size fractions.
