Effects of soil compaction on root development of perennial grass leys in northern Norway
Abstract The effects of soil compaction on root development in leys were investigated at three locations in northern Norway: Sortland, Tromsø and the Pasvik Valley. At these sites, different soil amelioration measures and drainage methods of peat soils had been used. The investigations were carried...
