Effect of compaction on microbial activity and carbon and nitrogen transformations in two oxisols with different mineralogy
The use of machinery in agricultural and forest management activities frequently increases soil compaction, resulting in greater soil density and microporosity, which in turn reduces hydraulic conductivity and O2 and CO2 diffusion rates, among other negative effects. Thus, soil compaction has the po...
