Optimising soil disturbance and mulch attenuation for erosion and runoff control in asparagus crops [PDF]
, 2014 Exposure of bare soil for long periods and onsite compaction create soil and water problems in asparagus production. This project aims to develop a cost effective and practical runoff and soil erosion management system.

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 ...

Soil disturbance by cut-to-length machinery on mid-grained soils [PDF]
Silva Fennica, 2019 Factors affecting soil disturbance caused by harvester and forwarder were studied on mid-grained soils in Finland. Sample plots were harvested using a one-grip harvester. The harvester operator processed the trees outside the strip roads, and the remaining residues were removed to exclude the covering effect of residues.

Functional traits of soil invertebrates as indicators for exposure to soil disturbance [PDF]
Environmental Pollution, 2012 We tested a trait-based approach to link a soil disturbance to changes in invertebrate communities. Soils and macro-invertebrates were sampled in sandy soils contaminated by long-term wastewater irrigation, adding notably organic matter and trace metals (TM).

Characterizing Minimally Disturbed Soils in a Highly Disturbed Urban Environment [PDF]
Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment, 2019 Core Ideas Historical maps were used to identify two undisturbed soil pedons in the urban area. Strong correlation was found between dolomite and the very coarse and coarse sand fractions. The Y2O3/ZrO2 ratios of soil minerals can be used to identify disturbance boundaries.
