Modeling the Impact of Rhizosphere Bulk Density and Mucilage Gradients on Root Water Uptake
Frontiers in Agronomy, 2021 In models of water flow in soil and roots, differences in the soil hydraulic properties of the rhizosphere and the bulk soil are usually neglected. There is, however, strong experimental evidence that rhizosphere and bulk soil hydraulic properties differ

Considering the soil compaction status on logging areas in a Hyrcanian forest
Journal of Forest Science, 2015 This paper deals with the issue of soil compaction during timber harvesting operations on cutting areas. Soil compaction was assessed following the logging operation in Darabkola forest area by measuring soil bulk density.

Soil compaction caused by 450C Timber Jack wheeled skidder (Shefarood forest, northern Iran)
Journal of Forest Science, 2007 In forest harvesting operations usually after using skidding machinery (skidders), traces of soil damage in the form of soil compaction and wheel and logs ruts can be seen in the forest soil. Soil bulk density, which represents soil compaction, decreases

Thin Layer Measurement of Soil Bulk Density [PDF]
Journal of Range Management, 1993 Measurement of soil bulk densities is difficult if there are gravel, stones, or other materials present in the soil profile. A technique is offered for estimating the soil bulk density in thin layers (1.0 cm) in loose, nonuniform soils with low moisture levels. The technique consists of the removal of the soil in shallow layers.

Prospect and importance of green mulching on the soil status of tropical tasar plantation fields in India [PDF]
, 2011 The soils of tropical tasar plantation fields in general are sloppy and are primarily deficient of nutrition due to top soil erosion and constant leaf productivity exploitation to rear tasar silk insect, Antheraea mylitta Drury.
