Bulk density of horizons and layers in soil profiles at two locations (for natural soil and soil above pipelines and a tileline) showed that modification of the Erie channery silt loam fragipan by mechanical disturbance alone results in re‐establishing dense soil layers in less than 11 years. Buried topsoil, however, was much less dense after 12 years.
