“…Load-bearing capacity is important in studies of soil compaction, sustainability of productive systems, evaluation of different agricultural management systems and traffic of machines and animals. In this regard, Tassinari et al (2015), Watanabe et al (2017) and Sousa et al (2019) are some examples of the soil LBC theory applied in agriculture. The capacity of a soil to support load depends on several factors, such as the drying and wetting processes of the soil, texture and mineralogy, soil bulk density, use and management adopted in the agricultural area, structure and soil water content, being these last two parameters of great contribution (Dias Junior et al, 2019).…”
