Using Subsoiling To Reduce Soil Compaction
Heavy equipment can compact forest soils. Often, the compacted layers are 12 to 22 inches below the surface. A special piece of equipment, known as a subsoiler, can break up the compacted layer without destroying surface vegetation and residue or mixing soil layers. This report contains information on subsoiling equipment and its use. It also …

The Different Types of Soil Movement
Water. Some types of soil, such as clay, gravel and sand, expand upon coming into contact with water and then shrink again after the moisture depletes. This can have an adverse effect on a foundation if the soil plays an important role in the stability of a building. After all, the repetitive swelling and shrinking of soil will cause it to move ...
Soil Movement
Soil movement can occur due to natural (e.g., freeze–thaw processes) and biotic (e.g., earthworm movement) processes; however, both 'cultivation' and 'tillage' generally refer …
3.4: Soil Water Measurement and Movement
Introduction. Soil water movement is an important process in soil; it controls the amount of water available to plants, how much water can be stored in the soil, and whether the root zone has excess water in. Soil water movement is classified into saturated flow, unsaturated flow, and vapor flow.
The Save Soil Movement's Origin, Impact and …

Soil Water Movement | SpringerLink
Introduction. Soil water movement study is very much essential in microirrigation for design of sand filters, selection of dripper discharge rate and spacing of drippers. Water movement in soils is distinguished into two types of flow. One is saturated flow where in all the pores in the soil are filled with water.

Remediating Expansive (Shrink-Swell) Soils
Swelling occurs as expansive soils, also known as fat clays, absorb water. For example, after a heavy precipitation event or rise in the groundwater table, swelling can occur. Conversely, as they dry and desiccate, expansive soil will shrink, harden, and often crack. It is the unique clay mineralogy of expansive soils that produces this often ...
