“…With soil compaction, there are several negative effects on soil functioning, from its direct interference on nutrient uptake by plants, such as phosphorus and potassium that are absorbed by plants by diffusion, to reduced crop productivity, increased production costs, and reduction in leaf area due to the increased production of abscisic acid by plant roots [1]. Reduced root growth and changes in soil physical properties due to compaction have been observed in many crops, such as soybean [2][3][4][5][6][7], corn [8][9][10][11][12], wheat [13][14][15][16], edible black beans [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24], rice [25,26], cassava [27][28][29][30][31], onions [32], Crambe [33], sugarcane [34,35], tobacco [36], cover crops [37,38], pastures/grasslands [39][40][41][42][43][44][45], and forest plantations…”
