Site-Specific Conditions Change the Response of Bacterial Producers of Soil Structure-Stabilizing Agents Such as Exopolysaccarides and Lipopolysaccarides to Tillage Intensity [PDF]
, 2020 Agro-ecosystems experience huge losses of land every year due to soil erosion induced by poor agricultural practices such as intensive tillage. Erosion can be minimized by the presence of stable soil aggregates, the formation of which can be promoted by ...

Evaluation of aggregate stability methods for soil health
Geoderma, 2022 Aggregate stability is a commonly used indicator of soil health because improvements in aggregate stability are related to reduced erodibility and improved soil–water dynamics. During the past 80 to 90 years, numerous methods have been developed to assess aggregate stability.

Enrichment of organic carbon in sediment transport by interrill and rill erosion processes [PDF]
, 2008 Erosion and loss of organic carbon (OC) result in degradation of the soil surface. Rill and interrill erosion processes on a silt loam soil were examined in laboratory rainfall and flume experiments.

Application of a novel method for soil aggregate stability measurement by laser granulometry with sonication [PDF]
, 2013 Aggregate stability is an important physical indicator of soil quality, and so methods are required to measure it rapidly and cost-effectively so that sufficient data can be collected to detect change with adequate statistical power. The standard methods

Aggregate-Size Stability Distribution and Soil Stability
Soil Science Society of America Journal, 2004 A new theoretical and experimental framework that permits an accurate determination of aggregate‐size stability distribution is presented. The size‐stability distribution in addition to estimating aggregate‐size distribution distinguishes between amounts of stable and unstable macroaggregates (>250 μm).

Causes clarification of the soil aggregates stability on mulched soil [PDF]
Soil and Water Research, 2022 Soil aggregates have great effects on soil properties and soil functions. Mulching (organic inputs) has been known as a factor influencing soil aggregate stability. Our study aimed to reveal the causes of the higher stability of soil aggregates under organic mulches.

Aggregate stability in soils cultivated with eucalyptus [PDF]
Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2011 The objective of this work was to evaluate the aggregate stability of tropical soils under eucalyptus plantation and native vegetation, and assess the relationships between aggregate stability and some soil chemical and physical properties. Argisols, Cambisol, Latosols and Plinthosol within three eucalyptus-cultivated regions, in the states of Espírito
