Concept: soil compaction in the concept vocabulary

Concept URI	http://www.eionet.europa.eu/gemet/concept/7850
Preferred label	soil compaction
Definition	An increase in bulk density (mass per unit volume) and a decrease in soil porosity resulting from applied loads, vibration, or pressure. More compacted soils (or other materials) can support greater loads (load-bearing capacity). Bulk density can be increased by controlling the moisture content, compaction forces and treatment procedures, as well as by manipulating the type of material being compacted.
