Soil erosion by water is one of the kinds of soil degradation that creates challenges for soil management worldwide. Erosion risk potential is a result of combination of various erosion factors. Every soil can be affected by water erosion however, some soils are more prone to this process than the other. On the other hand, water erosion causes changes in the soil properties of the affected area. The aim of the study was to investigate the change in some of the most fundamental soil properties caused by erosion pro...

Soil compaction is a significant process of soil degradation worldwide which affects the productive function of the soil, but also its susceptibility to other degradation processes of the soil and landscape such as soil erosion and floods. There are primary and secondary reasons of soil susceptibility to compaction. Primary compaction is conditioned by the genetic properties of the soil. Secondary compaction is caused by human activities, directly ? due to wheel pressure of agricultural mechanisms, or indirectly ?...
