A collection of conference Proceedings of the Workshop on 'Soil Compaction: Consequences, Structural Regeneration Processes', Avignon, France, 17-18 September 1985.

The purpose of this report is to review available information on soil compaction as related to soil and water conservation on forest and range lands.

This book provides a global review of the mechanisms, incidence and control measures related to the problems of soil compaction in agriculture, forestry and other cropping systems. Among the disciplines which relate to this subject are soil physics, soil mechanics, vehicle mechanics, agricultural engineering, plant physiology, agronomy, pedology, climatology and economics.The volume will be of great value to soil scientists, agricultural engineers, and all those involved with irrigation, drainage and tillage. It will help to facilitate the exchange of information on current work throughout the world, as well as to promote scientific understanding and stimulate the development, evaluation and adoption of practical solutions to these widespread and urgent problems.
