This paper reviews natural recovery of deteriorated soil physical condition under animal
treading in grazed pastoral systems, particularly in New Zealand and Australia. While much …

Cassava (Manihot esculenta crantz) is often cultivated on tilled plots, traditionally on mounds
and ridges with the use of hand hoes or tractor driven implements. These two conditions …

The Australian cereal belt stretches as an arc from north-eastern Australia to south-western
Australia (24˚ S–40˚ S and 125˚ E–147˚ E), with mean annual temperatures from 14˚ C …

The soil water retention curve (SWRC) or soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) is a
fundamental feature of unsaturated soil that simply shows the relationship between soil …

Soil damage by livestock on cropped land is a concern for mixed crop-livestock producers.
The hypothesis that livestock-induced soil damage does not effect subsequent crop …

The water retention curve (WRC) of arable soils from the southeastern United States at
different levels of compaction (no compaction, and 10 and 20% increases in soil bulk …

Soil structural degradation is widespread in cropping lands and efforts to restore
deteriorated soil structure very often fail, largely as a result of unchanged tillage and traffic …

Water is usually the most limiting factor in agricultural grain crop production. Various
agricultural management practices, such as tillage and use of cover crops, have the …

Wheel traffic can lead to compaction and degradation of soil physical properties. This study,
as part of a study of controlled traffic farming, assessed the impact of compaction from wheel …

Traffic and tillage effects on runoff, soil water and crop production under rainfall were
investigated over a period of 6 years on a heavy clay vertosols (vertisols) in Queensland …
