N2  - Soil compaction caused by animal treading in grazing of pastures has not been considered a serious problem in Australian soils. However, recent circumstantial evidence suggests that in northern Victoria compaction does occur. In an experiment conducted at the Hamilton Pastoral Research Station (western Victoria) in 1973, grazed pastures with various stocking rates showed increases in bulk density and bearing capacity of the soil, and decreases in hydraulic conductivity occurred with increasing stocking rate. Some change in pasture composition was also noted.
