Soil water and air regime under forest and agriculture in loess soils in South‐West Germany . Investigations on loess soils of South‐West Germany showed distinct differences in the water and air regime under forest and agriculture. The water content was higher and the air content lower under cultivation and grassland as compared to forest. These results are caused by less transpiration of agriculture crops on cultivated plots and also by a higher bulk density of this soil due to tillage.
