When is soil compaction most likely to occur?

Soil compaction occurs when soil particles are pressed together, reducing pore space and impeding root growth and water infiltration. This is most likely to happen under the pressure of heavy machinery, particularly when soils are moist and susceptible to compression.
When is soil compaction most likely to occur? Which soil type has the smallest particle size? The practice of growing two or more crops in proximity to enhance pest control and nutrient utilization is: What soil property is most directly affected by the cation exchange capacity (CEC)? Where in the soil profile would you typically find the highest concentration of organic matter? The process of exposing seeds to moisture and temperature to initiate germination is known as: Is soil pH more likely to be acidic or alkaline in regions with high rainfall? How to improve the water-holding capacity of sandy soils?
