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.

Interacting Effects of Land Use Type, Soil Attributes, and Environmental Factors on Aggregate Stability

open access: yesLand, 2023
Soil erosion and surface pollution near reservoirs can adversely affect water quality and safety. Soil aggregate stability is an important predictor of soil water loss and erosion resistance that is strongly influenced by land use.

Responses of Soil Labile Organic Carbon on Aggregate Stability across Different Collapsing-Gully Erosion Positions from Acric Ferralsols of South China

open access: yesAgronomy, 2023
Soil labile organic carbon (LOC) is a valuable and sensitive parameter of the changes in soil carbon (C) pools and further affects soil structural stability.

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.

Site-Specific Conditions Change the Response of Bacterial Producers of Soil Structure-Stabilizing Agents Such as Exopolysaccarides and Lipopolysaccarides to Tillage Intensity [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

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

Causes clarification of the soil aggregates stability on mulched soil [PDF]

open access: yesSoil 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.

Application of a novel method for soil aggregate stability measurement by laser granulometry with sonication [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 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 ...
