Interacting Effects of Land Use Type, Soil Attributes, and Environmental Factors on Aggregate Stability

open access: yesLand, 2023
Soil erosion and surface pollution near reservoirs can adversely affect water quality and safety. Soil aggregate stability is an important predictor of soil water loss and erosion resistance that is strongly influenced by land use.

Saving the face of soil aggregates [PDF]

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, 2019
Hierarchy levels and building units of micro- and macroaggregates and related separation methods. The hierarchy levels (left arrow) are inversely related to the energy necessary for the disruption (right arrow).

A New Idea to Improve the Test Method of Soil Aggregate Stability for Soils with a Texture Gradient

open access: yesAgronomy, 2023
It is of great significance to determine soil aggregate stability in predicting agricultural production conditions and soil erosion risk. However, the problem exposed in the process of evaluating soil aggregate stability cannot be ignored: Can the ...

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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

Biocrust-linked changes in soil aggregate stability along a climatic gradient in the Chilean Coastal Range [PDF]

open access: yesSOIL, 2022
Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) composed of cyanobacteria, bacteria, algae, fungi, lichens, and bryophytes stabilize the soil surface. This effect has mainly been studied in arid climates, where biocrusts constitute the main biological agent to ...

Soil aggregate structure, stability, and stoichiometric characteristics in a smelter-impacted soil under phytoremediation

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Smelter-impacted soils often result in soil degradation and the destruction of the soil structure. Although soil aggregate typically plays a crucial role in soil structure, the influence of phytoremediation on soil aggregate structure stability and ...

Using Color, Texture and Object-Based Image Analysis of Multi-Temporal Camera Data to Monitor Soil Aggregate Breakdown

open access: yesSensors, 2017
Remote sensing has shown its potential to assess soil properties and is a fast and non-destructive method for monitoring soil surface changes. In this paper, we monitor soil aggregate breakdown under natural conditions.

Nitrogen addition increases the contents of glomalin-related soil protein and soil organic carbon but retains aggregate stability in a Pinus tabulaeformis forest [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
Background Glomalin-related soil protein (GRSP) and soil organic carbon (SOC) contribute to the formation and stability of soil aggregates, but the mechanism by which global atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition changes soil aggregate stability by altering

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

open access: yesEnvironmental 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.
