How does organic matter(%)mixed with soil mixture have an affect on the mean hydraulic conductivity?

Question

i am doing a lab where we measure the hydraulic conductivity of certain soil mixture with various percentages of water. we did 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%. the graph was linear, so what does that mean? what is the effect of the organic matter on the mean hydraulic conductivity?

Answer

A search only brings up scholarly papers with big words.

Less intellectual essays such as Wikipedia acknowledge that the effect is important but not simple to explain.
