Compaction Tolerant Trees
http://warnell.forestry.uga.edu/service/library/index.php3?docID=390&docHistory%5B%5D=2&docHistory%5B%5D=412
Soil compaction is a complex set of physical, chemical, and biological constraints on tree growth. Principle components leading to limited growth are the loss of aeration pore space, poor gas exchange with the atmosphere, lack of tree available water, and…

Defining Soil Compaction: Sites & Trees
http://warnell.forestry.uga.edu/service/library/index.php3?docID=392&docHistory%5B%5D=2&docHistory%5B%5D=412
The health and structure of trees are reflections of soil health. The ecological processes which govern tree survival and growth are concentrated around the soil/root interface. As soils, and associated resources change, tree systems must change to effect…
