SOIL STRUCTURAL DEGRADATION RISK IN HOROIATA BASIN (TUTOVA HILLS)
Journal Title: Present Environment and Sustainable Development - Year 2009, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate a component of the physical soil quality, this being the structural degradation risk. The study area has been the basin of Horoiata River. The profile database used in the study consists of over 140 profile samples, dispersed all over the basin. The indexes used have been soil crusting index, the compaction degree and the susceptibility to cracking.
