Technodiversity Glossary
Technodiversity glossary is a result of the ERASMUS+ project No. 2021-1-DE01-KA220-HED-000032038.
The glossary is linked with the project results of Technodiversity. It has been developed by
Jörn Erler, TU Dresden, Germany (project leader); Clara Bade, TU Dresden, Germany; Mariusz Bembenek, PULS Poznan, Poland; Stelian Alexandru Borz, UNITV Brasov, Romania; Andreja Duka, UNIZG Zagreb, Croatia; Ola Lindroos, SLU Umeå, Sweden; Mikael Lundbäck, SLU Umeå, Sweden; Natascia Magagnotti, CNR Florence, Italy; Piotr Mederski, PULS Poznan, Poland; Nathalie Mionetto, FCBA Champs sur Marne, France; Marco Simonetti, CNR Rome, Italy; Raffaele Spinelli, CNR Florence, Italy; Karl Stampfer, BOKU Vienna, Austria.
The project-time was from November 2021 until March 2024.

Types of ruts on trailsDue to machine traffic, soils react in different ways to compaction. The Eidgenössische Forschungsanstalt WSL (Switzerland) has classified ruts on trails according to three types: With type 1, we can see small ruts that witness to some degree of compaction, but there are no ridges on the sides. This type of rut is very stable and allows for further passages. With type 2, ridges appear at the sides of the ruts: they derive from the soil being pushed aside by the wheel. This type is stable, too, but the ridges are a warning that we are close to the limit and must be very careful. With type 3, new ridges appear that derive from semi-liquid soil flowing out of the ruts. This is a clear indicator that traffic must be stopped. (See more at TDiv PR1-D03)  | |
