Compaction effects on evaporation and salt precipitation in drying porous media [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2022 Compaction and salinization of soils reduce croplands fertility, affect natural ecosystems, and are major concerns worldwide. Soil compaction alters soil structure and affects the soil's hydraulic properties, and it therefore may have a significant ...

Study on Compaction Effect and Process of Reclaimed Soil of Nonmetallic Mines in Xinjiang, China
Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2020 Reclaimed soil is the key substrate for land reclamation and ecological restoration in the mine areas. The change of the density of reclaimed soil of the nonmetallic mines in Xinjiang during the land reclamation process was studied in this paper. Firstly,

Are soils in urban ecosystems compacted? A citywide analysis [PDF]
, 2011 Soil compaction adversely influences most terrestrial ecosystem services on which humans depend. This global problem, affecting over 68 million ha of agricultural land alone, is a major driver of soil erosion, increases flood frequency and reduces ...
