Process: Soil Loosening (P 12)

This process simulates the loosening of the soil, e.g. reduces the bulk density in response to tillage operations. This process inherently affects the thickness of the affected layers. Its parameter is:

Loosening Intensity Coefficient
Reflects the degree that the soil is loosened (decrease in the bulk density) wiht a value of 1 producing the minimum bulk density for the specified soil and a value of 0 producing the no change in bulk density.
