A reader in Tucson says he plays public courses where the greenside bunkers have just a thin layer of sand over hardpan. |
|
The simplest way to see if your soil has a hardpan or compaction layer below the surface is to take a metal rod and walk around your property sticking it into the ground. |
|
Depending on torque and speed of specific models, they can be used in conditions ranging from loose, heavy, or rocky soils to hardpan, frost, and asphalt. |
|
They had erected each post, one by one, sinking it deep into the caliche hardpan upon which the town was settled, and then into the softness of the sand below. |
|
The terrain there is level and underlaid by a hardpan that impedes drainage and encourages flooding. |
|
Which building block of the ecosystem is one acting upon if one breaks up the hardpan crust? |
|
The amount of pore space in a hardpan is much less than the layers of soil above or below it, thus causing drainage problems. |
|
Deep tillage implements, used chiefly to break up hardpan and packed soils, include the subsoiler and the chisel plow. |
|
Similarly, soils in a chronosequence developed on alluvium can exhibit a clayey hardpan after 100,000 years or so. |
|
Has the power to rip apart asphalt and prepare the toughest hardpan for digging or landscaping. |
|
For example, the famous Serengeti Plain owes its grasslands to a calcrete, or calcium-rich hardpan, deposited close to the surface by evaporated rainwater. |
|
Soluble materials are redeposited at lower levels, often resulting in an iron-rich hardpan that impedes the drainage of the upper horizons, which leads to the formation of gley podzols. |
|
Other shajiang tu soils develop impervious layers of limestone hardpan. |
|
Can animals break the hardpan crust with their hooves? |
|
The 14 hectares of vines are in an ideal location on the northern slope of Saint-Émilion. The soil is largely clay-limestone and sandy on a layer of hardpan. |
|
A moderate mortality rate was observed for the least lignified species and high rates for the more lignified in the iron hardpan Ferlo to the north-east. |
|
They are either unaware of, or underestimate, the potential impact of livestock in breaking up the layer of hardpan, and the possibility of improving the water cycle. |
|
Testing of the main main magnetic anomaly was prevented by a siliceous hardpan. |
|
This plough can be used to reduce the effects of compaction and to help break up ploughpan and hardpan. |
|
|
Many apparently well-drained areas are underlain by humate, a hardpan which may perch the water table and provide the moisture moles and earthworms require. |
|
Typically farmers break up hardpan up with a subsoiler, which acts as a long, sharp knife to slice through the hardened layer of soil deep below the surface. |
|
These two students spent every spare moment they had excavating plants of this species out of the typical hardpan limestone pavement that characterizes the Andros landscape. |
|
As such, the observed inceptisols were expected to be acidic, possess weak horizon development, and contain a hardpan, characteristics verified in the field. |
