Description:
Three years after disturbance of soil, by digging sample pits to a depth of 1 m, soil at a depth of 85–95 cm had greater air porosity and greater total porosity than previously and soil strength of disturbed soil was much less than strength of the undisturbed side wall. At a depth of 25–35 cm, air porosity was increased and soil strength was decreased. Disturbance of wet soil tended to have less beneficial or detrimental effects. These data suggest than Berwick and Kentville sandy loams would be amenable to improvement by deep tillage provided moisture conditions were favorable.
