Soil and roots physical properties revealed a marked in-situ natural heterogeneity, increasing the complexity of comparisons of the results obtained in the area subjected to vegetation cutting and the control area. An average trend of soil water retention has been determined through laboratory and in-situ measurements. Further [Google Scholar]
