A REVIEW OF THE EFFECTS OF SOIL COMPACTION AND AMELIORATION TREATMENTS ON LANDSCAPE TREES

摘要: Compacted soil is a frequently encountered problem on urban and community landscape sites. Numerous site amelioration methods planting techniques have been employed to counteract the harmful effects of compaction plant establishment growth. Recent research aimed at examining effectiveness these has given mixed results. It evident that restricts woody growth, but nature causes restriction are not completely understood. This partly result difficulty in separating interrelated factors such as physical impedance roots, gas exchange, water infiltration drainage. Consequently, it difficult pre- scribe with confidence improve compacted conditions for trees. A review our current under- standing its presented here from perspective establishment.
