TL;DR: In this article, a review of the effects of machinery traffic on soils and crops is made, including stress distribution under running gear, soil response to applied stresses, influence of compaction on soil properties and processes, persistence of compraction, and crop response to compaction.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared six cropping systems, ranging from conventional arable without livestock to organic mixed dairy farming with few arable crops, have been compared since 1989 on a loam soil.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of high axle load traffic on subsoil compaction and crop yield were studied in 26 field experiments in Europe and North America, applicable to humid areas with annual freezing.

TL;DR: In this article, the results of a 12-year trial on a poorly drained silty loam overlying silty clay loam and on a freely drained sandy laminar sand overlying medium sand were compared for 12-13 years, with three replications at each site.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of alternative strategies for green manure management on the yield and N recovery of a subsequent spring barley crop, and their short term effects on soil structure and earthworm populations were evaluated.
