Determining how anthropogenic disturbances affect site productivity through bioassays requires a complete understanding of both overstory and understory vegetation. This study was installed in 1997 to determine how soil compaction and intensive harvesting affected the inherent site productivity of pine stands on the western boundary of loblolly pine’s (Pinus taeda L.) natural range. We measured...

The carbon-conserving nature of reduced or no-till soils as compared to conventionally tilled soils is well document­ ed (Blevins et al., 1983; Havlin et al., 1990; Wood and Edwards, 1992). With no-till, plant residues remaining on the soil surface decompose more slowly, resulting in more carbon (C) being retained in the soil than when residues are in­ corporated into the profile (Holland and C...

The geogrid-reinforced soil structures play important roles in the reinforcement applications since 1980s. Generally in design of the geogrid-reinforced soil structures, the soil-geogrid interaction behavior is not directly considered. Instead, the interaction strength is represented by the consolidation drained strength of soil commonly. However, neglecting the effect of compaction and suction...

Nitrogen from fertilisers and crop residues can be lost as nitrous oxide (N2O), a greenhouse gas that causes an increase in global warming and also depletes stratospheric ozone. Nitrous oxide emissions, soil chemical status, temperature and N2O concentration in the soil atmosphere were measured in a ®eld experiment on soil compaction in loam and sandy loam (cambisols) soils in south-east Scotla...

A simple, conceptual model for predicting forest productivity losses from soil compaction is presented. Information regarding each component of the model is summarized. Once compacted, most forest soils in the Pacific Northwest are expected to remain compacted and forest growth affected for several decades. Elements within the model which managers are able to manipulate to influence the amount ...

The impact of forwarder traffic on soil physical properties was evaluated on a Gwinnett sandy loam, a commonly found soil of the Piedmont. Soil strength and saturated hydraulic conductivity were significantly altered by forwarder traffic, but reductions in air-filled porosity also occurred. Bulk density did not increase significantly in trafficked treatments. The greatest impacts to soil physic...

Soil compaction first affects physical properties, as compaction occurs when soil particles are pressed together, reducing pore space between them and increasing the soil bulk density (Lipiec & Hatano, 2003; Raper, 2005; Reintam, 2006; Reintam et al., 2009). Soil compaction also influences chemical and biological processes, such as decreasing organic carbon (C) and N mineralization, the concent...

Grazing cattle on forest plantations in the interior of British Columbia is a common practice. Soil compaction can occur following cattle use, although this may vary with stocking rate, vegetation type and age, soil type, soil water content, and climate. Several studies have shown that increased soil compaction can have a negative impact on growth of young tree seedlings and on productivity in ...

ABSTRACT- Maize production, which is ranked after wheat and barely in Fars province, Iran, needs a considerable amount of irrigation water that is not available in scarce water conditions in drought situations. Therefore, proper planting method can improve irrigation water management. The objectives of the present study were to investigate the effects of two planting methods, on-bed and in furr...
