When moving downhill there is increased shear in the direction of travel under braking and causing a bow wave in front of a wheel; moving up hill there is increased shear against the direction of travel and travelling diagonally to a slope there is asymmetric deformation of the soil. Both friction between load and soil, as well as deformation of the soil, absorb the energy of a moving load and prevent slipping. Driving curves on a slope results in not only friction and deformation in and against, but also lateral to the direction of travel. The importance of traffic, due to the machinery and the style of driving, upon peat soils and the vegetation of mires is discussed. %U http://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gldocs-11858/7264 %~ FID GEO-LEO e-docs
