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

Soil compaction is a fundamental process in geotechnical engineering, aimed at enhancing soil density and stability by optimising moisture content and applied compactive effort. The key parameters—the ...

Government incentives, spurred by climate change fears, will likely nudge you toward reduced tillage programs and cover crops in the near future. On-farm tests conducted by Farm Journal field ...

A simple step can create a major yield jump. At least that’s what a Farm Journal Test Plot study revealed. The research shows removing layers before switching to no-till can add 20 bu. to 30 bu. of ...

Proper soil compaction is crucial for both small and large construction projects because it increases soil density and load bearing, ensuring the stability, durability, and longevity of buildings and ...

Logging operations can negatively affect soil density and water infiltration within forests, particularly along makeshift logging roads and landing areas where logs are stored before being trucked to ...

Wildfires fade fast, but soil damage stays for years. This study explains why some forests recover faster than others.

Wildfires may disappear from the landscape within weeks, but their hidden effects on the soil can persist for decades. An ...

Most garden soils are either too sandy or too heavy with clay. If yours is the latter there's a kitchen pantry staple that can help break things up.

1. Savannas are highly heterogeneous tree-grass mixtures, and the structural variation imposed by a discontinuous canopy cover results in spatial variation in soil properties such as plant-available ...
