Effects of freeze-thaw cycles on the size distribution and stability of soil aggregate in the permafrost regions of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Environmental Research Communications, 2023
As the basic units of soil structure, soil aggregate is essential for maintaining soil stability. Intensified freeze–thaw cycles have deeply affected the size distribution and stability of aggregate under global warming.

Mixed planting improves soil aggregate stability and aggregate-associated C-N-P accumulation in subtropical China

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
Research on the variations in soil aggregate stability and ecological stoichiometry at aggregate scales by stand type is of great significance in investigating the distribution, limitation, balance, and cycling of organic carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus

Performance evaluation of hot mix asphalt (HMA) using glass fiber as a partial replacement of fine aggregate [PDF]

Archives of Civil Engineering
Hot Mix Asphalt mixtures are often used as the top layer of pavement structures to build roads worldwide. Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) mixtures combine bitumen and aggregate to produce roads.

The stability of soil aggregates in tilled fallow areas in Hyderabad district, Pakistan

Journal of Water and Land Development, 2015
Arid areas are particularly susceptible to soil erosion due to long dry periods and sudden heavy downpours. This study investigates the aggregate size distribution and aggregate stability of twelve tilled fallow areas of Hyderabad district, Sindh ...

The relative contributions of soil hydrophilicity and raindrop impact to soil aggregate breakdown for a series of textured soils

International Soil and Water Conservation Research, 2022
Soil aggregate breakdown is the first key factor that causes soil erosion. At present, research on the mechanisms of soil aggregate breakdown during rainfall is common.

Assessing soil aggregate stability by measuring light transmission decrease during aggregate disintegration

Soil and Water Research
Advancements in technology have recently enabled to assess soil aggregate stability (SAS) using digital devices. To address the need for a faster and more efficient method of measuring SAS, we have developed a simple yet effective approach using a ...

Pore system characteristics of soil aggregates and their relevance to aggregate stability

Geoderma, 2020
Aggregates are the structural units of soils, and the physical stability is considered to be a keystone parameter of soil quality. However, little is known about the evolution of the pore system in aggregates and its importance in defining aggregate ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal hyphal networks and glomalin-related soil protein jointly promote soil aggregation and alter aggregate hierarchy in Calcaric Regosol

Geoderma
The Loess Plateau of China (LPC) is one of the most severely eroded areas in the arid and semi-arid regions of northern China. Improving soil aggregate stability and hierarchy in Calcaric Regosol is vital for mitigating soil erosion.

Enrichment of organic carbon in sediment transport by interrill and rill erosion processes [PDF]

, 2008
Erosion and loss of organic carbon (OC) result in degradation of the soil surface. Rill and interrill erosion processes on a silt loam soil were examined in laboratory rainfall and flume experiments.

Specific ion effects on soil aggregate stability and rainfall splash erosion

International Soil and Water Conservation Research, 2022
Soil interparticle forces can pose important effects on soil aggregate stability and rainfall splash erosion. Meanwhile, these interparticle forces are strongly influenced by specific ion effects.
