The effect of soil compaction at different depths on cork oak seedling growth
Original language description
Soil compaction promoted either by inadequate management (pressure of livestock and machinery) or by soil natural conditions (podzolisation) can influence the growth of cork oak seedlings. We hypothesized that compaction could be related with the lack ofnatural regeneration and decline on cork oak stands. In this paper, we evaluated the response of cork oak seedlings growth in terms of area and biomass production for above and belowground parts at different compaction depths tested for a sandy-loam soil. This study was done in a greenhouse, with germinated seedlings. Three treatments were applied. One no-compaction treatment (control, C0) and two with a soil compacted layer at 60 cm (C1) and 30 cm depth (C2). The level of compacted layer was 1.37 MPaof mechanical resistance. Results show that tap root length is negatively affected by compaction at 60 and 30 cm depth. Below and aboveground biomass are affected by compaction at 30 cm depth. In addition, the leaf area results demonstrat
