| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the implementation of cultural practices to prevent compacted soil. Explains that "there are a number of factors influencing the ability of a soil to have a stable soil structure. The primary factor is soil organic matter whose breakdown products create a cementing effect, holding the mineral particles together." States that "the grass ecosystem is recognized as the optimum system for promoting soil structure, hence reducing the apparent density of the soil and increasing the porosity of the soil, particularly the macro porosity." |
