## Abstract The effect of a heavy application (550 tonnes/ha) of unamended cow slurry to grassland in early spring (March) on the composition of the soil atmosphere was examined by analysing the gaseous phase under adjacent treated and untreated areas for a 12βmonth period. Restricted aeration and

## Abstract Intensive livestock production and labourβsaving methods of husbandry require the storage and subsequent disposal of large volumes of slurry on land. The effect of pig slurry, applied to a soil surface, on the composition of the soil atmosphere was investigated using laboratory soil col
## Abstract Timeβdomain reflectometry (TDR) is increasingly used for field soil water estimation because the measurement is nonβdestructive and less affected by soil texture, bulk density and temperature. However, with the increase in instrument resolution, the influences of soil bulk density and t
## Abstract Quantitative data for the rate of decomposition of Ξ²βindolyl acetic acid added to soils have been obtained and the rate of decomposition shown to be very rapid. Normal dressings of organic manures such as dung and dried blood have been found to increase the auxin content of soils toward
## Abstract Experiments were conducted in two types of Japanese mountain pastures to quantify the effects of cattle treading on plant growth, and on soil loss with runoff water. Duplicate plots (10βmβΓβ10βm) were trodden with zero, three, or six cows of approximately 300βkg body weight for 15 minut
