Hey, thanks! Reclamation is my jam. Ask me anything. I'm a lbout as big of a nerd as you can find on the topic.
Radical! I hadn't known about soil pores before. But it makes sense, especially in terms of why we till soil.
We till soil as a form of weed control and a priming effect (N release due to mineralization of the organic matter by microbes).
Rough and loose is for reclamation of disturbed lands an is used to create microsites that improve biodiversity, slow water moment, and reduce erosion
