“…Birkás et al [25] stated that the reduction of the crumbs in wet season is lower than in the dry season, but the chance of improvement is fairly moderate during average season. This assumption is harmonised to the findings of Gyuricza et al [15], who found poor crumb formation in a Chernozem soil when the dry season replaced a rainy period. Birkás et al [26] stated that the decrease of large crumbs in ploughed and disk-tilled soils may be permanent and suggested revaluating traditional tillage interventions.…”

Specification of the tillage trends (conventional, reduced, conservation etc.) and endeavours (e.g., energy saving, sustainable) has been made possible in the last 50-60 years. Soil protection has become the main requirement in the soil conservation trend contributing to the implementation of the long-term defence strategy [1]. In the relevant experiments, control often involves conventional tillage as a treatment with negative impact on soil compared with treatments that present a possible solution as direct drilling, mulch-till, etc. [2]. Nowadays soil tillage aim has been changed. The minimal soil disturbance may be replaced with soil intervention to the required extent that is reinforced by the use of several protection techniques, e.g., surface cover, surface layer consolidation, loosened layer adaptable to the water conservation and organic matter protection. Today, soil health evaluates compliance of the tillage systems and appropriate factors are applied that could be evaluated anywhere: crumb ratio, soil moisture range

“…The two extremes of the climate -too wet or too dry conditions in the soil -require applying a cultivation method causing minimal damage to soils. This concept is quite new in the southeast European soil cultivation practice [13][14][15].…”

“…It was found, that an incomplete cover (≤22.5%) promoted lower meanwhile optimal cover (≥32.5%) induced higher SWC retention in soils. This finding corresponds to assessments by Gyuricza et al [6] who outlined that optimal surface cover significantly decreased the soil vulnerability. Considering the weather phenomena, soil and water conserving surface cover might have increasing importance in the future.…”

“…However, the environmental condition of the soil is directly or indirectly affected by soil tillage [2,3]. The adverse effect of ploughing on soil condition is known from the literature [4,5], where authors frequently report negative impacts on deteriorated soil [6,7]. In spite of this, extreme weather modifies the soil tillage objectives [8].…”

Long Term Effects of Ploughing and Conservation Tillage Methods on Earthworm Abundance and Crumb Ratio

In addition to the dry (D) and rainy (R) seasons, a combination of the two i.e., rainy-dry (RD) and dry-rainy (DR), can also be observed in one year. The effects of the dry (D) and rainy (R) on soil are known, hence we hypothesized that the effects of the rainy-dry (RD) and dry-rainy (DR) periods on soil may differ from the former assessments. The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of six tillage treatments (ploughing—P, disk tillage—DT, loosening—L, tine tillage (a deeper—T and a shallower—ST) and no-till—NT) on earthworm abundance and crumb ratio during a long-term research (16 years) on Chernozems. The results related to the four year-groups (D, R, RD, and DR) with different residue cover. Seven degrees of cover ratio (between 12.5% and 62.5%) were selected on stubbles. Higher cover ratio (≥52.5%) improved water conservation, increased earthworm abundance (31 and 41 ind m–2) and crumb (78 and 82%) ratio (p < 0.001). R year came first in the rank of water content and earthworm abundance and DR proved to be more favorable for crumb formation. Considering the rank of soil tillage treatments, ST takes first place in evaluation of soil water content (SWC) and crumb ratio, and NT for earthworm abundance.

“…Livestock can affect the terrain in two ways: by shredding, and as a result, moving crushed soil materials on the surface of the slopes; and indirectly by the destruction of vegetation and then the erosion of the naked soil by other erosive agents, mostly by water and wind [3,36,[38][39][40][41][42][43]. Two set of characteristics are particularly important for understanding the effects of these types of zoogenic impacts.…”

Animals' activities are a significant geomorphologic factor. An important reliefogenic role is played by animals introduced by man; that is, livestock. The activity of livestock on the earth's surface can be direct (horizontal displacement of the soil), or indirect (preparation of ground for degradation). In this research the areas that livestock tread most often were put under examination, that is, places used for resting (e.g., during the night) and paths used for moving (e.g., while passing to and from grazing spots). The experimental research areas were divided into two groups. During the two-week study period it was noted that (1) the number of plants and their stems had declined by 9.5% and 19% respectively, and the paths had widened by 6%; (2) the soil level had decreased, uncovering the measurement pins by 3.5 mm up to 24 mm, depending on the slope of the ground, while in the comparison (control) areas the pins were uncovered only up to an average 1.8 mm.The results of the research show the scale of the phenomenon of zoogenic erosion caused by livestock. Based on the research the following formula has been elaborated y = (−0.005x + 0.0526) T×N×SP 100×0.86 . This provided the opportunity to calculate the average (hypothetical) data for soil loss (y), according to the slope degree (x), the number of animals (N), the time that those animals spend in the area (T), and the static pressure they caused on the ground (SP). The paper makes recommendations that could lead to a reduction in soil erosion caused by livestock.
