Having compacted soils in your garden can make it harder for some plants to grow. Soil compaction happens when all the tiny soil particles are squished together, leaving less space in between for air, ...

Dynamic compaction is a ground improvement method that utilises repeated high‐energy impacts to densify and stabilise loose granular soils. This technique has evolved from traditional field methods ...

Soil compaction is a fundamental process in geotechnical engineering, aimed at enhancing soil density and stability by optimising moisture content and applied compactive effort. The key parameters—the ...

Soil compaction is considered a consistent problem in modern agriculture. When soils are compacted, we know, plants don’t grow as well. Exactly why that happens, though, has generally just been ...

This year in South Dakota many areas have received high amounts of rainfall during the summer. This has led to portions of fields being wet particularly in the northeastern part of the state. Soils ...

Tap-rooted species may penetrate compacted soils better than fibrous-rooted species and therefore be better adapted for use in "biological tillage". We evaluated penetration of compacted soils by ...
