摘要
Field investigations on loamy sand soil showed that compaction by cattle trampling increased soil bulk density and cone penetrometer resistance. Trampling produced very dense zones at depths of 7-10.5 cm, which impeded drainage, despite the presence of large macropores. Soil structural and hydrological changes caused by hoof compaction can result in serious pasture management problems. Compaction simulation experiments on saturated turf indicated that most severe structural damage occurs on initial compaction.
