Soil Aggregate Stability: A Review

Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems, 1999
ABSTRACT Soil aggregate stability is a crucial soil property affecting soil sustainability and crop production. A broad outline of the processes and agents of aggregate formation and aggregate stabilization are presented and discussed in this review. Aggregate stability is difficult to quantify and interpret.

Aggregation and Aggregate Stability in Forest and Range Soils

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1988
Abstract A simple method for measuring aggregation and aggregate stability across soils of widely varying structure and texture is presented. The method uses standard techniques of particle‐size analysis to measure yield of fine particles (<26‐µm estimated spherical diam.) after three types of dispersion treatments: shaking in ...

Structure and stability of soil aggregates

Eurasian Soil Science, 2007
The formation and disintegration of macroaggregates into water-stable particles in a wide range of soil water contents—from the hygroscopic moisture to the capillary saturation moisture—were analyzed. It was found that the disintegration of macroaggregates into water-stable particles follows an exponential law.

Microorganisms and Soil Aggregate Stability

1985
A soil aggregate has been defined as “a naturally occurring cluster or group of soil particles in which the forces holding the particles together are much stronger than the forces between adjacent aggregates” (Martin et al., 1955). The terms soil structure and soil aggregation are often used synonymously, but soil aggregates are the basic units of soil

Wet Aggregate Stability of Some Botswana Soil Profiles

Arid Land Research and Management, 2006
ABSTRACT During intense and short rainfall events, important losses of fertility are expected as a result of erosion in drylands because the nutrient pools are concentrated in the topsoil. Therefore, we evaluated the kinetics of aggregate stability in some Haplargids and Torripsamments in Botswana as it represents a resistance factor against losses of ...
