[QUOTE="Agrivator, post: 4860702, member: 461"] I have just Googled '' bacteria in snow''. There are plenty of references, but I can't find any reference to the harmful effects of ploughing it down. The bacteria which might otherwise be degraded on the surface during normal melting of the snow could, if ploughed down, have a harmful effect on soil fungal and other soil microorganisms. Ploughing by man is a very new concept, and for millions of years soil was never subjected to it, let alone ploughing of snow-covered soil. It might even contribute to the creation of a plough pan. Surely there's a soil scientist on here. It would provide a study for a research scientist, but it would rely on snow falling just as the study starts. Somebody get out there and plough a representative part of a field, and get in touch with your nearest Agricultural Institute for the mentally retarded to see if any staff or research student with a Diploma in Pratology wants to be involved.
