Soil-physical aspects of zero-tillage experiments.
Structural determinations (visual rating, penetro-meter resistance, core sampling) in zero-tillage experiments on various soils (marine loam, river clay, sand etc) showed greater soil densities in unfilled plots than after plowing (20 cm), while mean pore-space and standard deviation of pore-space were generally lower in untilled plots.

Examining the potential for climate change mitigation from zero tillage [PDF]
The benefits of reduced and zero-tillage systems have been presented as reducing runoff, enhancing water retention and preventing soil erosion. There is also general agreement that the practice can conserve and enhance soil organic carbon (C) levels to ...
