Land, 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.

The role of conservation soil management on soil and water protection at different spatial scales [PDF]
, 2006 Agriculture has a direct impact on the soil environment, altering soil properties, surface characteristics and erosion risk. This has led to a move away from conventional tillage to the adoption of conservation practices, aiming to minimise soil ...

THE RELATIONSHIP OF POLYSACCHARIDES TO SOIL AGGREGATION [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Soil Science, 1963 Studies were conducted on two soil types to determine whether variations in level of aggregation, induced by adding wheat straw were accompanied by significant changes in the polysaccharide content of the soils.The addition of finely ground wheat straw to the soils, followed by varying periods of incubation, markedly improved the level of aggregation ...

Saving the face of soil aggregates [PDF]
Global 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
Agronomy, 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 ...

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

Frontiers 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 ...

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