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.

Dominant Aggregate Binding Agent Dynamics of Quaternary Ancient Red Soils under Different Land Use Patterns

Agronomy, 2023
The cementation mechanisms and processes of aggregate binding agents are important in understanding aggregate formation. However, the role of threshold values and the proportions of organic and inorganic binding agents in aggregate formation remain ...

The Effects of Partial Substitution of Fertilizer Using Different Organic Materials on Soil Nutrient Condition, Aggregate Stability and Enzyme Activity in a Tea Plantation

Plants, 2023
Fertilization plays a crucial role in enhancing tea production. However, it has been demonstrated that the long-term single application of chemical fertilizer will reduce soil nutrient content and the formation of soil aggregates, which is not conducive ...

Broadleaf Trees Increase Soil Aggregate Stability in Mixed Forest Stands of Southwest China

, 2023
In soils, high aggregate stability often represents higher quality and anti-erosion ability; however, few studies have systematically analyzed how different forest stands affect soil aggregate stability.

Soil aggregate stability and macrofauna as indicators of soil health and sustainable agricultural systems [PDF]

, 2017
A healthy soil associated with sustainable crop production is likely to be considered a sustainable agricultural system. Soil health indicators only have value if they influence management decisions that support soil and food security. The surface layer (

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.

Aggregate stability affects carbon sequestration potential of different tropical soils

Annals of Tropical Research, 2018
Aggregate stability and carbon (C) sequestration in soils are closely related phenomena. However, high aggregate stability does not always ensure high carbon sequestration to some soil types since other binding agents could dominate other than carbon ...

Responses of Soil Labile Organic Carbon on Aggregate Stability across Different Collapsing-Gully Erosion Positions from Acric Ferralsols of South China

Agronomy, 2023
Soil labile organic carbon (LOC) is a valuable and sensitive parameter of the changes in soil carbon (C) pools and further affects soil structural stability.
