Abstract
It is likely that, CS (chiselling to a depth of 0.13Â m followed by two passes of rotary harrow to a depth 0.05Â m) plots were less affected by traffic treatments than CT plots. Considering the proportion of coarse pore size porosity (structural porosity) and total porosity, no compaction effects below 0.3Â m were found. Medium soil water content (w2) provides better soil conditions after traffic with regard to wide coarse pore size porosity (â6Â kPa), air permeability (at 6 and 30Â kPa water suction), total porosity and bulk density. Proportion of wide coarse pores, air permeability and bulk density seems to be suitable parameters to detect soil compaction under the conditions tested.
