“…In four cases of the articles in this review, site preparation has been reported to counteract soil compaction. Silveira França et al [75] showed that planting in borehole through the compacted layer improved seedling growth. Following a wind throw event on a wet soil in South Carolina, long-term effects of different types of site preparation were studied [76,77].…”

Purpose of Review Ground-based mechanized forest operations can cause severe soil disturbances that are often long lasting and detrimental to the health of forested ecosystems. To reduce these soil disturbances, focus is being increasingly directed at identifying and using appropriate mitigation techniques. This systematic review considered 104 scientific articles and reported the main findings according to four core themes: terrain-related factors, operational planning, machine modifications, and types of amendments used to mitigate machine-induced soil impacts. Recent Findings For terrain-related factors, most severe disturbances occur on machine operating trails exceeding 20% slope and that soil bulk density and rut depth show greater increases in fine-textured soils. When considering operational planning, trafficability maps proved to be helpful in reducing the frequency and magnitude of soil damages as well as the length of trails needed within harvest sites, especially if they are regularly updated with weather information. Machine modifications, through high flotation tires, use of extra bogie axle, lower inflation pressure, and use of steel flexibles tracks, are highly researched topics because of the considerable upside in terms of machine ground pressure distribution and increased traction. Two main types of amendments emerged to mitigate soil disturbances: brush mats and mulch cover. Brush mats created from harvesting debris can spread the load of a machine to a greater area thereby lowering peak loads transferred to the soil. Brush mats of 15–20 kg m−2 are being recommended for adequate soil protection from harvesting operations. Summary To conclude, we outline recommendations and strategies on the use of soil mitigation techniques within cut-to-length forest operations. New research opportunities are also identified and discussed. Considering single factors causing machine-induced soil disturbances remains important but there is a pressing need for having a multi-disciplinary approach to tackle the complex problems associated with machine/soil/plant interactions.

“…However, soil compaction has been a problem due to machine traffic and natural reconsolidation. Soil chiseling is a tillage method used to reduce surface soil compaction in no-tillage systems by reducing soil bulk density and enhancing pore space (Cavalieri et al, 2006;Klein and Camara, 2007;Fasinmirin and Reichert, 2011;Awe et al, 2020;Reichert et al, 2020a;França et al, 2021;Reichert et al, 2021a;Rosa et al, 2021). Conventional tillage, the traditional tillage method used for cassava (Santos et al, 2020;Thomaz and Fidalski, 2020), is another option for decreasing soil compaction, but the excessive disturbance from soil inverting and mixing by plowing and disking causes undesirable effects such as soil disaggregation, with further exposion to rainfall impact (Lima et al, 2015), especially in sandy soils that are highly prone to erosion (Cantalice et al, 2005;Silva et al, 2020;Thomaz and Fidalski, 2020).…”

“…Currently, subsoiling operation is one of the most effective methods to solve the soil compaction problem [10][11][12]. Subsoiling can break the plow plough pan, improve the soil water storage and moisture conservation capacity, and significantly improve crop production [13].…”

This study proposed a design method for forced-vibration subsoiling to reduce resistance and consumption. The vibration digging parameters of the Antlion larvae were obtained by high-speed camera, and a forced-vibration subsoiling shovel handle and six different shovel tips were designed by the non-smooth resistance-reducing surface design method. The resistance-reducing and consumption-reducing effects were verified in the field subsoiling experiment. The results showed that the resistance of subsoiling gradually decreased with the vibration frequency increasing. This vibration subsoiling method could not only reduce resistance but also reduce the total energy consumption, the resistance reduction rate reached 14.2–21.2%, and the total energy consumption was reduced by 11.2–16.5%. It could achieve the comprehensive subsoiling effect and create the soil conditions with the combination of loose and firmness. The non-smooth surface contributed to the reduction in resistance, and the forward speed had a more negligible effect on the resistance of subsoiling. The results had demonstrated that the combination of high-frequency vibration and non-smooth surfaces helped to reduce the cohesion of the soil, reduce the angle of internal friction in the soil, destroy the water film layer on the contact surface between the soil-touching components and the soil, change the soil flow state, and reduce the adhesion of the interface layer. The design method in this study could not only be applied to the design of vibration resistance reduction in the subsoiler but also had significance for the design of the other soil-contacting components.
