note
While topsoil compaction can be more easily alleviated, subsoil compaction must be completely avoided.
note
The damage to the subsoil is particularly relevant since, at these depths, compaction is cumulative and persistent over decades or maybe even centuries.
note
Subsoil compaction is cumulative, often persistent and requires significant technical effort to alleviate. Therefore, subsoil compaction is often perceived as irreversible.
