Plant Ecology, Vol. 193, No. 2 (2007), pp. 223-232 (10 pages) Many studies have shown that soil disturbance facilitates establishment of invasive, non-native plant species, and a number of mechanisms ...

Regardless of what you’re growing, spring is an exciting time of year. But it doesn’t come without challenges. Compaction can lead to wet soil that makes it difficult to get in your fields on time for ...

When you look at the walk-behind compactors in your fleet, chances are you don't think of them as precise scientific instruments. Yet, soil compaction is a science and it requires a certain degree of ...

From mild winters to heavier equipment, farmers face several uncontrollable factors, adding layers to the soil compaction problem. “Our winters have been milder, and snowfall has been lighter in ...

The calendar may say it’s time to get in the fields, but the soil conditions should determine our actions. After a long winter, most of us suffer from cabin fever and we want to get out and busy. This ...

Most terrestrial plants are highly dependent on the soil for their well-being. A very favorable soil contains 50 percent open “pore” space, 45 percent minerals, and 5 percent organic material. The ...

Most plants are rooted in the ground, and they are highly dependent on the surrounding soils. Most experts agree that 80% of a tree’s roots are made up of the fleshy feeder root variety which function ...

Pavement performance depends on many factors. Mix designs, ambient and mix temperatures, rolling methods, joints, and types of equipment used can all be analyzed and tweaked to deliver a better ...

Exploring the fundamentals of compaction and one key machine that makes the final pass: a HAMM roller. From versatility to ...
