TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of crawler tractor traffic across the slope (20%) on spatial distribution of soil strength and water content of silt loam soil under controlled grass cover and conventionally cultivated vineyard were assessed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared measured and model-predicted thermal conductivity as a function water content for both non-aggregated soil and five aggregate fractions (0.25-0.5, 0.5-1, 1-3, 3-5 and 5-10 mm).

TL;DR: In this article, the spatial distribution of hydraulic conductivity at a larger regional scale in south-eastern Poland and its relationship with other soil properties, including intrinsic sand, silt, and clay contents, relatively stable organic carbon, cation exchange capacity (CEC) and temporally variable water content (WC), total porosity (FI), and dry bulk density (BD) in the surface layer (0-20 cm).

TL;DR: A field experiment was conducted on Haplic Luvisol developed from loess to assess the effects of soil deformation and straw mulch on soil water status (matric potential), temperature, penetration resistance, soybean growth, seed yield and yield components including straw, protein and oil in 2006-2008 as discussed by the authors.
