“…In this connection, the role of agrophysical and biological factors in the management of soil processes is to a much lesser extent. However, their role in the formation of effective fertility is often leading, especially on waterlogged and insufficiently drained soils (Mitrofanov et al, 2014(Mitrofanov et al, , 2015Moiseev, 2011). The main criteria characterizing the agrophysical factors of soil fertility include the lowest moisture capacity, available moisture reserves, water permeability, density of aggregation, penetration resistance, total porosity, aeration porosity, etc (Kiryushina & Ivanova, 2005;Bondarev, 1994;Kuznetsova, 1990;Maslov, 1979;Mitrofanov, 2012;Revut, 1968;Blokhuis, 2006).…”
