Soil aggregation, aggregate stability, organic carbon and nitrogen in different soil aggregate fractions under forest and shrub vegetation on the Loess Plateau, China

Catena, 2010
Revegetation has been reported as one of the most effective counter measures to reduce soil and water erosion on the Loess plateau in China. Soil aggregate stability and the distribution of organic carbon and nitrogen in different aggregate fractions ...

Stability of soil aggregate in loamy soils of Slovakia

Journal of Elementology, 2017
Stability of soil aggregates is affected by dozens different factors and their individual effects are hardly discernable. For this reason, we investigated the structure of the top layer (to a depth 0.2 m) of loamy soils (Haplic Fluvisol, Mollic Fluvisol and Calcaric Chernozem), at three sites (Šulekovo, Trakovice and Bučany) in the north-western part ...

Aggregate hierarchy in soils

Australian Journal of Soil Research, 1991
An Alfisol, a Mollisol and an Oxisol were fractionated into different particle sizes after a range of disaggregating treatments from gentle to vigorous. The Alfisol and the Mollisol appeared to break down in steps; macroaggregates >250 µm diameter breaking down to microaggregates 20-250 µm diameter before particles <20 µm were released ...

Soil aggregation and soil aggregate stability regulate organic carbon and nitrogen storage in a red soil of southern China

Journal of Environmental Management, 2020
Soil aggregation plays a critical role in the maintenance of soil structure, as well as in its productivity. Fertilization influences soil aggregation, especially by regulating soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) contents in aggregate fractions.

Aggregation and Aggregate Stability in Forest and Range Soils

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1988
Abstract A simple method for measuring aggregation and aggregate stability across soils of widely varying structure and texture is presented. The method uses standard techniques of particle‐size analysis to measure yield of fine particles (<26‐µm estimated spherical diam.) after three types of dispersion treatments: shaking in ...

Effect of soil aggregation on the biodegradation of phenanthrene aged in soil

Environmental Pollution, 2003
A study was conducted to determine the possible role of soil aggregates in the sequestration of phenanthrene and thus in the declined biodegradation of the hydrocarbon. Phenanthrene aged in Lima loam (2-mm aggregates) showed declined biodegradation with time of aging to the test bacterium P5-2 capable of using sorbed phenanthrene.

Dynamics of Soil Aggregation

1966
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the factors and mechanisms governing the formation and destruction of water-stable soil aggregates. The formation and degradation of water-stable aggregates comprise a complex interrelationship of physical, biological, and chemical reactions.

Chromium Diffusion and Reduction in Soil Aggregates

Environmental Science & Technology, 2001
The distribution of metal contaminants such as chromium in soils can be strongly localized by transport limitations and redox gradients within soil aggregates. Measurements of Cr(VI) diffusion and reduction to Cr(III) were obtained in soil columns representing transects into soil aggregates in order to quantify influences of organic carbon (OC) and ...

Soil aggregation in the seedbed: A review. I. Properties of aggregates and beds of aggregates

Soil and Tillage Research, 1989
Tillage improves soil conditions for plant growth by altering the aggregate size distribution which affects the mechanical, physical and agronomic properties of the soil. Properties of individual aggregates and how these relate to seedbed performance are reviewed.
