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.

Machine learning approaches for the prediction of soil aggregate stability. [PDF]
Heliyon, 2021 Currently, many Pedotransfer Functions (PTFs) are being developed to predict certain soil properties worldwide, especially for difficult and time-consuming parameters to measure. However, very few studies have been done to assess the feasibility of using PTFs (regression or machine learning methods) for predicting soil aggregate stability.

Assessing soil degradation under land-use change: insight from soil erosion and soil aggregate stability in a small karst catchment in southwest China [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Background Soil erodibility (K factor) and soil aggregate stability are often used to assess soil degradation in an erodible environment. However, their applicability under land-use change is uncertain, especially agricultural abandonment.

Symbiosis of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Robinia pseudoacacia L. Improves Root Tensile Strength and Soil Aggregate Stability. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Robinia pseudoacacia L. (black locust) is a widely planted tree species on Loess Plateau for revegetation. Due to its symbiosis forming capability with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, we explored the influence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on plant ...
