Effect of compaction of soils on growth of Acacia mangium Willd. under glasshouse conditions

A glasshouse study was conducted to observe the initial height and diameter growth of Acacia mangium Willd, seedlings over a period of 24 weeks in pots with soil at bulk densities of 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 g/cm3. Height and diameter growth increased significantly with decreasing soil b...
