Abstract
The role of seasonal freezing and thawing in the discompaction of plow horizons and in the restoration of the volume and shape of soil pore space is analyzed by the example of gray forest soils. The specific pl aty structure of agrogenically compacted soils during the winter seaso n is characterized. The main indices of the improvement of soil aggreg ate status during the annual cycle are distinguished. The effect of au tumn plowing of compacted soils on discompaction processes is consider ed.
