Aggregate stability of Alfisols root zone upon turfgrass treatment

Sains Tanah: Journal of Soil Science and Agroclimatology, 2020
Soil degradation mostly occurs on land where a lack of surface coverage results in soil-aggregate destruction due to heavy rainfall. Turfgrass is an ornamental plant and covers the soil surface and, thus, potentially improves soil-aggregate stability ...

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.

Interactive Effects of Tillage and Soil Depth on Soil Aggregate Stability in Relation to Soil Properties and Glomalin-Related Soil Proteins

Biology
Tillage practices influence soil structural stability by modifying the soil physicochemical environment and biological processes. However, the relationships among tillage, soil depth, Glomalin-related soil proteins (GRSP), and soil aggregate stability ...

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 characteristics and aggregate-associated soil organic carbon and carbohydrates of soils under contrasting tree land use

Sains Tanah: Journal of Soil Science and Agroclimatology, 2021
Protection of soil organic carbon and acid-hydrolyzable carbohydrates in aggregate-size fractions is important for appraising soil degradation and aggregation under land use types.

Vegetation restoration improved aggregation stability and aggregated-associated carbon preservation in the karst areas of Guizhou Province, southwest China [PDF]

PeerJ
Background The change in the soil carbon bank is closely related to the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and the vegetation litter input can change the soil organic carbon content.

Perspectives on the misconception of levitating soil aggregates

SOIL, 2023
Abstract. Soil aggregation is an important process in nearly all soil and land-use types across the globe. Aggregates develop over time through a series of abiotic and biotic processes and interactions, including plant growth and decay, microbial activity, plant and microbial exudation, bioturbation, and physicochemical stabilization processes, and are

Drip Irrigation at a Soil Water Suction of 30 kPa Helps AMF and GRSP to Enhance Greenhouse Macro-Aggregates

Agronomy, 2023
Drip irrigation is fundamental in water-saving agricultural greenhouses, especially in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) greenhouses. However, a long-term drip irrigation has been observed to be associated with soil degradation, concerning both soil ...

Structural and biochemical insights into the thermostable esterase Ta0887 from Thermoplasma acidophilum

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In this study, a novel esterase from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum was biochemically and structurally characterized. Our results demonstrate that Ta0887 is a highly thermostable esterase that preferentially hydrolyzes p‐nitrophenyl hexanoate and possesses an α‐helical cap domain that likely contributes to its substrate ...

Hexosamines in Soil Aggregates [PDF]

Nature, 1963
RECENT experiments at this Station on water-stable soil aggregates in a Bridgehampton silt loam have indicated that quantity of soil organic matter is not a reliable index of efficiency in the formation and stabilization of aggregates1,2. These investigations involved soils in frames that had been in redtop–potato and red clover–potato rotations for a ...
