Soil Aeration

Storyboard

Soil aeration involves the exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) between the soil and the atmosphere. Adequate aeration is essential for root respiration and the activity of beneficial soil microorganisms.

Natural Aeration: Soil naturally exchanges gases with the atmosphere through the soil surface. Factors like wind, temperature changes, and soil structure influence this process.

Soil Aeration Techniques: In some cases, soil aeration is actively managed using techniques such as mechanical aeration (e.g., using aerators or subsoilers) or by incorporating organic matter into the soil to improve its structure.
