| Abstract/Contents: | Synopsis: "Eight soils in sand-soil-peat mixtures reacted differently to compaction as reflected in percolation rates and aeration porosity. Generally, if the mixtures contained 50% or less total sand, compaction at high moisture contents resulted in inadequate percolation rates. Mixtures containing 70% total sand maintained adequate percolation rates under compaction but the average available moisture content of such mixtures was only 1.2 inches per foot of depth." |
