New method predicts soil compaction risk, revolutionizing farming strategies.
Soil compaction is a big concern for farming, and this study looked at how water content, bulk density, and soil texture affect soil compaction. They tested different soils and found that clayey and loamy soils can handle more stress when wet, while sandy soils are more affected by how tightly packed they are. This information can help farmers plan better strategies for their fields based on the type of soil they have.
