Title: Soil compaction from cattle trampling on a semiarid watershed in northwest New Mexico
Journal: New Mexico Journal of Science
Authors: D. G. Scholl
Date: 1989
Summary: Different soil textures were selected for trampling in the spring and fall to determine the amount of soil compaction, as well as calculate bulk density, macropore sizes and the saturated hydraulic conductivity of each soil texture. The results showed that spring trampling had greater compaction on loamy sand and sandy loam textures, and as expected, the loam and clay soils were most compacted under spring trampling. The bulk density of all textures besides sand were higher after trampling, large pores and the saturated hydrolic conductivity were reduced on sandy loam and loam soils. The fine ...
