Traffic of heavy machinery during forest harvesting causes soil compaction and alters the nutrient availability for plants, affects root growth, and the mass flow and diffusion processes, thus representing a problem for forest management. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of soil compaction and potassium application on growth and K nutrition of Eucalyptus camaldulensis. The study was carried out in pots under greenhouse conditions, using a completely randomized design with treatments in a 3 x 4 […]
