Is just considering texture enough to define compaction on the basis of soil density?
Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2023 The bulk density values indicative of compaction in clayey soils correspond to a wide range of values (1.30-1.47 Mg m-3), due to the diverse types of soil management.

Tillage or no-tillage: Impact on mycorrhizae [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 2005 Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are ubiquitous in agricultural soils. These fungi play important roles in plant nutrition and soil conservation. The persistence of AM fungi in ecosystems depends on the formation and survival of propagules (e.g., spore, hyphae and colonized roots).

Long term effects of different soil tillage systems on maize (Zea mays L.) yields
Plant, Soil and Environment, 2011 The effects of three tillage systems: no-tillage (NT), reduced tillage (RT) and conventional tillage (CT), and three levels of fertilization (0, 258 and 516 kg/ha NPK (58:18:24)), on the maize yield during ten years (1999-2008) were analyzed on the ...
