Compaction of Coarse-Textured Soils: Balance Models across Mineral and Organic Compositions

Compaction of Coarse-Textured Soils: Balance Models across Mineral and Organic Compositions

Soil bulk density (BD), degree of compactness (DC), maximum bulk density (MBD), and critical water content (CWC) at which MBD is reached are commonly used to characterize soil compaction, and can be predicted from soil texture and organic matter content, omitting other components such as sand sub-cl...
