Lecture

Soil Science: Physical Fertility and Water Retention

Description

This lecture covers the importance of physical fertility in soil, including water retention, hydraulic conductivity, and root ventilation. It discusses indicators such as soil structure, stability of aggregates, and compaction due to mechanical causes. The impact of soil compaction on root growth, mineral absorption, and tree stability is also explored, along with measures to prevent soil damage and maintain soil fertility in the long term.
