Abstract/Contents: | Describes how accumulation and layering of organic matter can alter root zone soil mixture properties, leading to root depth declines, decreases in water infiltration and susceptibility to summer stresses. Presents field senarios as examples of how these problems can occur. The first senario is "when the total O.M. [organic matter] accumulation becomes excessive and causes most of the macropores between sand particles to become filled, thereby, decreasing infiltration, percolation, and aeration." The second senario involves a situation "when the 'nature' of the O.M. changes from structured O.M. (mainly as live roots) into a gel-like consistency." |
