Local conditions matter: Minimal and variable effects of soil disturbance on microbial communities and functions in European vineyards. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 Soil tillage or herbicide applications are commonly used in agriculture for weed control. These measures may also represent a disturbance for soil microbial communities and their functions.

Study on Disturbance Mechanism of Squeezed and Non-Squeezed Soil Piles on Soft Soil Foundation
Applied Sciences, 2023 The construction process of pile foundations can significantly disrupt the soil. Therefore, it is necessary to limit the degree of soil disturbance caused by pile foundation construction to an acceptable level. This paper examines the disturbance effects

Review of the Research on Soil Disturbance by Tools
Applied Sciences, 2022 The discrete element method can be used to analyze the interaction between tools and soil. It can be used to guide the optimal design of tools, but the appropriate simulation and test method selected is important to achieve the goal.

Long-term reduced tillage and winter cover crops can improve soil quality without depleting moisture
California Agriculture, 2023 California farmers who use reduced-disturbance tillage and winter cover cropping can boost production and improve soil health. However, some farmers are hesitant to try these conservation practices due to uncertainty about whether planting winter cover ...

Soil CO2 efflux from mountainous windthrow areas: dynamics over 12 years post-disturbance [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2014 Windthrow-driven changes in carbon (C) allocation and soil microclimate can affect soil carbon dioxide (CO2) efflux (Fsoil) from forest ecosystems. Although Fsoil is the dominant C flux following stand-replacing disturbance, the effects of catastrophic ...
