Several studies on soil physical quality have related soil structural properties to bulk density,
proposing values for critical limits in relation to the soil compaction status. However, these …

Conventional tillage disturbs soil structure, increasing the soil's susceptibility to compaction
by machinery traffic in sugarcane fields. In this sense, the adoption of reduced tillage or no …

Soils as key component of terrestrial ecosystems are under increasing pressures. As an
advance to current static assessments, we present a dynamic soil functions assessment …

Increasing the levels of ecosystem services that contribute to agricultural production (ES) is
