Mixed planting improves soil aggregate stability and aggregate-associated C-N-P accumulation in subtropical China

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
Research on the variations in soil aggregate stability and ecological stoichiometry at aggregate scales by stand type is of great significance in investigating the distribution, limitation, balance, and cycling of organic carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus

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

SOIL, 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 ...

Soil Aggregate Stability in Salt-Affected Vineyards: Depth-Wise Variability Analysis

Land, 2022
Soil aggregate stability is an ideal integrative soil quality indicator, but little is known about the relevance of such an indicator with soil depth for salt-affected soils.

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

International 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.

Effect of Grazing Exclusion and Rotational Grazing on Soil Aggregate Stability in Typical Grasslands in Inner Mongolia, China

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Soil aggregate is extremely important for soil health and sustainable land management. Overgrazing has caused serious degeneration of grassland in the past decades and how to restore the degraded soil through grazing management is urgently needed.

The Effect of Zeolite on Aggregate Stability Indices

مجله آب و خاک, 2016
Introduction: Soil structural stability affects the profitability and sustainability of agricultural systems. Particle size distribution (PSD) and aggregate stability are the important characteristics of soil. Aggregate stability has a significant impact

Effects of freeze-thaw cycles on the size distribution and stability of soil aggregate in the permafrost regions of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Environmental Research Communications, 2023
As the basic units of soil structure, soil aggregate is essential for maintaining soil stability. Intensified freeze–thaw cycles have deeply affected the size distribution and stability of aggregate under global warming.

Quantifying the contribution of the root system of alpine vegetation in the soil aggregate stability of moraine

International Soil and Water Conservation Research, 2017
One fifth of the world's population is living in mountains or in their surrounding areas. This anthropogenic pressure continues to grow with the increasing number of settlements, especially in areas connected to touristic activities, such as the Italian ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal hyphal networks and glomalin-related soil protein jointly promote soil aggregation and alter aggregate hierarchy in Calcaric Regosol

Geoderma
The Loess Plateau of China (LPC) is one of the most severely eroded areas in the arid and semi-arid regions of northern China. Improving soil aggregate stability and hierarchy in Calcaric Regosol is vital for mitigating soil erosion.

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 ...
