Soil structure influences grass growth from "summary" of Soil, Grass, and Cancer by André Voisin
The structure of the soil plays a crucial role in determining the growth of grass. It is not just a matter of the soil's fertility, but also its physical characteristics that influence the development of grass. Soil structure refers to the way in which individual soil particles are arranged and aggregated. In healthy soil, there is a good balance between solid particles, water, and air. This allows for proper drainage and aeration, which are essential for grass roots to access nutrients and oxygen. When the soil structure is compacted or too loose, it can hinder the growth of grass by restricting root development. Compacted soil, for example, prevents roots from penetrating deep into the ground, limiting their access to water and nutrients....
