Compaction impacts trees in many ways. Generally, compaction associated physiological dysfunctions cause systemic damage and decline, as well as failures in dealing with additional environmental changes. Physical / mechanical constraints negatively modify responses in the tree resulting in inefficient use of essential resources. The symptoms we see in trees under compacted soil conditions have causes stemming from disruptions of the internal sense, communication, and response process.
