Alternatives: "contaminated soil" or "impacted soil".
Subsoil compaction affected soil bulk density and total porosity.
Human activities have affected soil ecosystem functions and in many cases caused soil ecosystem collapse.

The contaminated water has directly affected soil, crops and food". In recent years, newspapers have been filled with reports of "cancer villages", where there are clusters of the disease near industrial plants or alongside polluted waterways.
Once salt-affected soils have formed either through natural or human-driven processes, they need to be tested in order to determine the type of salt-affected soil and the degree to which it is affected.
Nine environmental factors closely related to permafrost-affected-soil formation were selected as variables for the model: land surface temperature for warm season and cool season, elevation, slope gradient, slope aspect, planform and profile curvatures, wetness index and NDVI.

Reclaiming salt-affected soil in arid and semi-arid countries is currently considered a substantial challenge because of water supply deficiencies.
This paper presents results of a characterisation of liquefaction-affected soil (LAS) and, from these results, infers its suitability for supporting existing trees and future plantings.
