 Soil Compaction: Causes, Effects, and Control
There is a real dif-ficulty in accurately predicting the effects on crop yield from subsoiling a given field because of differences in soils, the level of subsoil compaction, the soil water content, subsequent traffic, uncertainties of future weather conditions, and differences in the crop grown and in tillage methods.
In a Waseca study, subsoiling to a depth of 16 inches failed to increase yields on the 20-ton per axle treatments for either corn or soybeans and decreased corn yield 11 bu/a in one of the two years.
Another reason cited for the failure of subsoiling to remove a compacted layer is that subsequent wheel traffic may have reintroduced the compacted layer, thus negating the effects of sub-soiling.

A practical subsoil nutrient evaluation requires collection of two samples, a topsoil sample and a subsoil sample is recommended, and the subsoil sample will provide the information for adjusting the topsoil sample fertilizer recommendation.
Subsoil nutrient evaluation permits the fertilization adjustments of potassium, magnesium and sulfur applications which is a cost saving measure, particularly for marginal and small farmers.
However, in-row subsoiling may need to be a part of the cultural practice for row crops.

 Concessions: from d'Arcy to Kozak - OGEL - Oil, Gas & Energy Law Intelligence @ www.gasandoil.com/ogel/   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Some proposals are impracticable (e.g., requirement to conclude concession contracts with the subsoil user on terms and conditions established by existing licences, which, in their turn, had been concluded in the absence of the MRPT in the tax system, while the fees it would replace existed), and make the "concession initiative" unfeasible as proposed.
The experience of these countries is often used by the opponents of application of the civil law relationships in the oil and gas complex of Russia as an example to justify possibility of a effective attraction of investments in oil and gas, and on the basis of a licensing system.
But in the version of the Law on the Subsoil of March 3, 1995 the notion of 'concession' was deleted from the article and was not reinstated in the later versions (of February 10, 1999 and of January 2, 2000).

 ARS | Publication request: Shrinkage in a Normania Clay Loam Compacted under Different Axle Loads
Wet clods were sampled from the Ap and subsoil horizons of a Normania clay loam (fine-loamy, mixed, mesic Udic Haplustoll) in the spring of 1991 without further fragmentation after the soil had a full winter to swell following moldboard plowing in the fall.
The dry bulk density of subsoil clods (1.77 g cm**-3) was significantly greater than in the Ap layer (1.68 g cm**-3), but no statistical differences were observed among compaction treatments.
Maximum shrinkage was always less than 1 and averaged 0.61 in the subsoil compared to 0.80 in the Ap layer, which indicates nearly all structural and residual shrinkage after immediate air entry during gravity drainage.

 Managing Subsoil Material At The Surface   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Subsoil materials are frequently encountered at the surface of the ground as a result of erosion of the native topsoil or severe soil disturbances associated with earth moving and construction activities.
Subsoils in humid regions are usually highly leached, acidic, and infertile, while subsoils from drier areas tend to be much less acidic, but may be high in shrink-swell clays and/or salts.
Subsoil materials left by construction and earth moving are often unnaturally mixed and are variable from point to point.

Order: The determination by the Department, that eighteen (18) inches is a minimum standard for total soil replacement (topsoil and subsoil) on non-prime farmland areas with a land use of cropland, was not adopted as a rule in conformance with IC 4-22-2 and does not have the force of law.
The director may require that portions of the subsoil be removed and segregated, stockpiled and redistributed as subsoil in accordance with the requirements of paragraphs (sic., subsections] (d) and (e) of this rule (sic., section] if he finds such subsoil layers are necessary to comply with the revegetation requirements of 310 IAC 12-5.
This contention appears to be in conflict with the language of subsection (f), which requires a special "finding" by the director that the subsoil is needed for revegetation, and with the office of Surface Mining interpretation of the parallel federal regulation (acknowledging the need for subsoil separation in "some limited circumstances").

 PRESENTATION OF THE CONCEPT OF SHARING OF PRODUCTION
PSA – this is a special form of subsoil use relations based on civil-legal contractual principles for relations between a state and an investor with respect to prospecting, exploration and extraction of mineral resources.
The granting to an investor  of exclusive rights denotes that the state during the period  of PSA’s validity, is obligated to abstain on the given subsoil area from activity included in the volume of the transferred rights and not permit such activity on the part of third persons.
The investor is also the owner of the extracted raw materials, bears all expenses and risks, makes payments to the state for the use of the subsoil and all other taxes and fees envisioned by law, but the state structures its relations with the investor on an authoritative, administrative- managerial basis.

 Topsoiling
Clayey topsoil over sandy subsoil is a particularly poor combination, as water creeps along the junction between the two soil layers and may cause the topsoil to slough.
Topsoil is the surface layer of the soil profile, generally characterized as darker than the subsoil due to the enrichment with organic matter.
Where subsoils are high in clay, the topsoil layer may be significantly coarser in texture.

 Survey of Current Business: Accounting for Subsoil Mineral Resources - Statistical Data Included
The value of subsoil mineral assets in the United States could fall because much cheaper sources of supply are available abroad.
While subsoil assets currently account for only a small share of total wealth in the United States and do not appear to pose a threat to sustainable economic growth at present, this situation could change in the future.
If 100 percent of the 387,000,000-acre U.S. land mass is mineable in the future (an obvious overestimate), the current value of subsoil mineral resources other than reserves is on the order of $19.4 billion at $50 per acre.
