Does no-tillage mitigate the negative effects of harvest compaction on soil pore characteristics in Northeast China? [PDF]
, 2023 Optimizing tillage management is one way to reduce the risk of soil compaction due to traffic load in Northeast China. In this study, we aimed to examine the responses of precompression stress (σpc), compression index (Cc), pore morphology (>30 µm), air ...

Geoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January/February 2026.ABSTRACT Modern studies show that soil erosion results in a loss of ecosystem function, particularly fertility, and is a cause of declining agricultural yields. However, despite the well‐attested high rates of soil erosion across Roman and medieval Europe there appears to have been little or no soil‐associated decline in agricultural production—the ...

Determination of crop residues and the physical and mechanical properties of soil in different tillage systems [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural Machinery, 2016 Introduction: Monitoring and management of soil quality is crucial for sustaining soil function in ecosystem. Tillage is one of the management operations that drastically affect soil physical quality. Conservation tillage methods are one of the efficient

Sensitivity of C-band backscatter to surface roughness parameters measured at different scales [PDF]
, 2015 SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) sensors measure the backscatter (sigma(0)) of land covers and SAR images have a number of applications in agricultural soils (soil moisture, crop monitoring, etc.) but the surface roughness of these soils complicates their ...

Does an Increase in Number of Deep Burrowing Earthworms Enhance Subsurface Nutrient Losses?
European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 1, January–February 2026.ABSTRACT Deep burrowing earthworms Lumbricus terrestris can be abundant along subdrain trenches, creating macropores that may serve as preferential flow paths for particles and agrochemicals to subdrains. We examined L. terrestris abundance, subdrain water discharge, and nutrient loss trends during 2002–2022 in an arable no‐till clay soil with an ...

Soil Properties after Eight Years of the Use of Strip-Till One-Pass Technology
Agronomy, 2020 Tillage is an agrotechnical practice that strongly affects the soil environment. Its effect on soil properties depends on the system and, more specifically, on the degree of soil inversion and loosening.
