Intro to Soil Science
Soil compaction is the process by which soil particles are pressed together, reducing the volume of pores between them and increasing soil density. This phenomenon can have significant impacts on soil structure, water infiltration, and root growth, ultimately affecting plant health and agricultural productivity. It often results from heavy machinery traffic, livestock grazing, or poor land management practices.
