Land degradation due to soil compaction is a widespread phenomenon. Delineating maps
of topsoil compaction is a challenging task due to its dynamic nature, which is highly …

Reliable assessment of soil mechanical parameters causes many problems due to its
random nature, and therefore the literature on the subject provides many techniques in this …

Soil compaction has reduced crop yield under continuous no-tillage systems (NTS), and
occasional tillage has been suggested as a mitigating measure. The aim of this study was to …

Dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) is the quickest and cheapest in-situ probing apparatus to
estimate the soil stiffness; however, insufficient correlations are available to directly assess …

Although the effects of land use changes on hydrological functioning are widely addressed,
issues such as which components of the hydrological system are affected, how and on what …

Soil compaction, indirectly indicated by measuring soil penetration resistance, is a
significant problem in forest areas due to the use of mechanized heavy equipment in forestry …

The utilization of mulch stands as a paramount approach in the management of wind
erosion and the stabilization of soil and drifting sands. This study aimed to explore the …

The use of heavy machinery is increasing in agricultural industries, and in particular cotton
farming systems in Australia, which induces an increased risk of soil compaction and yield …

There has been a growing awareness of the need for sustainable forest management
among forest engineers during the last decades. The selection of the best harvesting system …

Bearing properties in the normal direction form the mechanical properties that soil is often
split into. Pressure-sinkage relationship equations identified as being representative of …
