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 ...

Plant Ecology, Vol. 193, No. 2 (2007), pp. 223-232 (10 pages) Many studies have shown that soil disturbance facilitates establishment of invasive, non-native plant species, and a number of mechanisms ...

Regardless of what you’re growing, spring is an exciting time of year. But it doesn’t come without challenges. Compaction can lead to wet soil that makes it difficult to get in your fields on time for ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Crop fields are taking the 2002 season hard, but it might not require a deep tillage operation to loosen them up. The wild weather extremes that compelled many farmers to plant ...

It's true that we reap what we sow in the garden. It is also true that the more we reap, the more we need to give back to the soil. Natural gardens capture sunlight and water to grow a lush, verdant ...

Soil compaction is a global threat to soil ecosystem services, causing tremendous costs to society. The costs of soil compaction are borne by the cumulative loss of soil functionality (e.g. yield loss ...

From mild winters to heavier equipment, farmers face several uncontrollable factors, adding layers to the soil compaction problem. “Our winters have been milder, and snowfall has been lighter in ...

When you look at the walk-behind compactors in your fleet, chances are you don't think of them as precise scientific instruments. Yet, soil compaction is a science and it requires a certain degree of ...
