You can record an observation; an inference is an idea.

Explanation:

Observation is the act of observing, it means having your attention directed to something specific, with the intention of later judging, analyzing or investigating a certain thing or someone. An observation can be recorded, filmed, photographed and recorded in any way that helps you to reason about what you observed. From the observation you can make an inference.

Inference is the action and the effect of inferring (deducing something, drawing a conclusion from something else, leading to a result). Inference arises from an observation and mental evaluation between different expressions that, when related as abstractions, allow us to trace a logical implication. In crazy words, inference is an idea.

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.
