    Soil compaction reduces plant growth by eliminating microorganisms and fauna, decreasing soil pores which reduces oxygen and water absorption by roots. Compacted soil has increased bulk density, temperature and strength while decreasing pore space, oxygen levels, water content and plant growth above and below ground. Solutions include measuring compaction, conservation tillage, controlling traffic, and using mycorrhizal fungi.
