Abstract:Aim of study: This study investigated the possible effects of soil penetration resistance on soil properties and tree physiology in recreational area soils.
Area of study: It was studied in Açık Maslak and Kadıdağı recreational areas in Kastamonu.
Material and methods: Some soil properties were determined in 395 soil samples from park, road, control, and picnic areas in each recreational area. At 61 points, soil penetration resistance was measured with a penetrometer. Some physiological properties … Show more
