Soil Compaction

Storyboard

Soil compaction refers to the process by which soil particles are compressed, reducing the pore spaces between them. This leads to increased soil density and reduced porosity.

Causes of Compaction: Soil compaction can result from various factors, including heavy machinery or equipment traffic, repeated tillage, and natural settling processes.

Effects of Compaction: Compacted soils have reduced aeration, limited root penetration, and impaired water infiltration and drainage. These effects can hinder plant growth and crop yields.
