Thermogravimetric data suggest synergy between different organic fractions and clay in soil structure formation

Geoderma
Although it has been recognized that soil structure formation affects soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration, experimental data elucidating the relation between mechanical properties of soil structure and soil organic matter (SOM) stability are lacking.
