Eb. Skvortsova et Pm. Sapozhnikov, DYNAMICS OF THE PORE-SPACE STRUCTURE UNDER COMPACTION AND DECOMPACTION OF PLOWED SOILS, Eurasian soil science, 31(2), 1998, pp. 153-161
The changes in the geometric pattern of the pore space of plowed gray
forest soils during their mechanical compaction by wheel tractors and
subsequent decompaction (regeneration of structure) under the effect o
f natural processes are studied. Transformation of macro-and mesopores
under the impact of wheel compaction of a different intensity is disc
ussed separately. The possibilities for the regeneration of the pore s
pace structure of compacted soils during one growing season are consid
ered.
