11. Rotation can also improve soil structure and fertility by alternating deep-rooted and shallow-rooted plants. 12. In contrast, mulching the vegetation leaves the soil structure intact. 13. There is also an effect on soil structure , catchment hydrology, and modifications to habitat. 14. Soil structure may be disturbed by pulverization or aggregate breakdown.15. The emphasis of Springman's research is on geotechnical modelling of soil structure interaction problems. 16. Traditional agricultural practices have generally caused declining soil structure . 17. Plants can form new chemicals that can break down minerals and improve the soil structure . 18. Their biomass also improves soil structure and fertility when they are rototilled in the spring. 19. The resulting soil structure increases in stability with the number of interactions between soil particles. 20. Your soil type is determined by its physical properties : soil texture and soil structure .
