The effect of organic farming on soil physical properties, infiltration and workability [PDF]
, 2011 Organically managed land has increased to 4 % of the total area of agricultural land in the UK. Changing land management can impact upon the rural environment (soils, hydrology and biodiversity) and rural community (socio-economics and culture).

The role of conservation soil management on soil and water protection at different spatial scales [PDF]
, 2006 Agriculture has a direct impact on the soil environment, altering soil properties, surface characteristics and erosion risk. This has led to a move away from conventional tillage to the adoption of conservation practices, aiming to minimise soil ...

Effects of high temperature processes on physical properties of silica sand [PDF]
, 2013 High temperature processes may alter soil properties, creating potential risks of subsidence, erosion and other hazards. Soils may be exposed to high temperatures during some aggressive contaminant remediation processes as well as natural events such as ...

The optimization of going management on UK racecourses using controlled water applications [PDF]
, 2006 Non-uniform surface rating (going) on a racecourse increases the potential for risk of injury to competing horses and their riders. Variability in soil type and strength are the primary cause of inconsistent going.

Phoenix soil physical properties investigation [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2009 The Phoenix Lander investigated the polygonal terrain and associated soil and icy soil deposits of a high northern latitude site on Mars. The soil physical properties component involved the analysis of force data determined from motor currents from the Robotic Arm (RA)'s trenching activity.
