In our work we investigated the effect of machines traffic on soil compaction, hydrological and erosional processes on a sloping vineyards: -The impact of tractor traffic on soil compaction was positively reduced by grass cover. -A single tractor passage on wet soil after tillage operation dramatically reduced soil hydraulic conductivity, increasing runoff and soil erosion risk.

Abstract

In our work we investigated the effect of machines traffic on soil compaction, hydrological and erosional processes on a sloping vineyards: -The impact of tractor traffic on soil compaction was positively reduced by grass cover. -A single tractor passage on wet soil after tillage operation dramatically reduced soil hydraulic conductivity, increasing runoff and soil erosion risk.
