Abstract/Contents:"Simulated treading was applied at seven different frequencies to turves under two moisture regimes. An experiment was conducted under greenhouse conditions, using a force of 90.6 kg over an area of 36 cm2, this being equal to the pressure exerted by a man of the same weight, while walking. The loads were applied on one day a week for eight weeks. Plant productivity was significantly reduced by treading, although the level of load applied apparently made little difference. There were no significant changes in total, water- or air-filled soil pore spaces, or in dry bulk density, although a possible trend of increased dry bulk density with treading was observed. The water stability of the soil structure was significantly reduced under the higher moisture regime. Suggestions for further experimentation are made."
