The role of conservation soil management on soil and water protection at different spatial scales [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Agriculture has a direct impact on the soil environment, altering soil properties, surface characteristics and erosion risk. This has led to a move away from conventional tillage to the adoption of conservation practices, aiming to minimise soil ...

Variation in Soil Aggregate Stability Due to Land Use Changes from Alpine Grassland in a High-Altitude Watershed

open access: yesLand, 2023
Land use change affects soil aggregate composition and stability, which impacts soil structure and health. To reveal how land use change impacted soil aggregates of alpine grassland in a high-altitude watershed, soil samples from 161 sites including ...

Regulation of soil organic carbon stock with physical properties in alluvial soils of Bihar

open access: yesEnvironment Conservation Journal, 2022
Soil temperature and water content govern the breakdown of soil organic matter (SOM), which has a large impact on SOC storage. Apparently soil organic carbon is an excellent indicator of soil health.

Biocrust-linked changes in soil aggregate stability along a climatic gradient in the Chilean Coastal Range [PDF]

open access: yesSOIL, 2022
Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) composed of cyanobacteria, bacteria, algae, fungi, lichens, and bryophytes stabilize the soil surface. This effect has mainly been studied in arid climates, where biocrusts constitute the main biological agent to ...

The relative contributions of soil hydrophilicity and raindrop impact to soil aggregate breakdown for a series of textured soils

open access: yesInternational Soil and Water Conservation Research, 2022
Soil aggregate breakdown is the first key factor that causes soil erosion. At present, research on the mechanisms of soil aggregate breakdown during rainfall is common.

Aggregate stability affects carbon sequestration potential of different tropical soils

open access: yesAnnals 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 ...

APPLICATION OF FRACTAL THEORY IN QUANTIFYING SOIL AGGREGATE STABILITY AS INFLUENCED BY VARYING TILLAGE PRACTICES AND COVER CROPS IN NORTHERN GUINEA SAVANNA, NIGERIA

open access: yesTropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2021
Background. Soil aggregate stability varies with management practices like tillage and soil organic matter management. Objective. The objectives of this study were to (i) Explore a fractal theory to investigate the extent of soil fragmentation in soil of

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

open access: yes, 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 (

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

open access: yes, 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.
