I've only found one book that references the use of wood stakes to improve soil.
Edible Forest Gardens by Dave Jacke and Eric Toensmeier. It's a two volume set comprising about 800 pages. Long, but great information with a focus on Temperate Climate Permaculture.
As I understand it, the wood stakes work similar to roots. As they decompose, they allow water and air to reach places in the soil that hard clay never would allow. Once the path is open, nature does the rest.
