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.

Assessing soil aggregate stability by measuring light transmission decrease during aggregate disintegration

open access: yesSoil and Water Research
Advancements in technology have recently enabled to assess soil aggregate stability (SAS) using digital devices. To address the need for a faster and more efficient method of measuring SAS, we have developed a simple yet effective approach using a ...

Nitrogen addition increases the contents of glomalin-related soil protein and soil organic carbon but retains aggregate stability in a Pinus tabulaeformis forest [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
Background Glomalin-related soil protein (GRSP) and soil organic carbon (SOC) contribute to the formation and stability of soil aggregates, but the mechanism by which global atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition changes soil aggregate stability by altering

Aggregate-Size Stability Distribution and Soil Stability

open access: yesSoil Science Society of America Journal, 2004
A new theoretical and experimental framework that permits an accurate determination of aggregate‐size stability distribution is presented. The size‐stability distribution in addition to estimating aggregate‐size distribution distinguishes between amounts of stable and unstable macroaggregates (>250 μm).

Short-Term Dynamics of Soil Aggregate Stability in the Field [PDF]

open access: yesSoil Science Society of America Journal, 2014
Aggregate stability is a key property affecting the movement and storage of water, seedling emergence, and soil sensitivity to erosion. Many studies have shown that aggregate stability changes through time. Field monitor- ing studies performed with a relatively large (monthly) time step showed the seasonal trend of aggregate stability. However, shorter

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 ...

Post-farming land restoration schemes exhibit higher soil aggregate stability and organic carbon: Evidence in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area, China [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
The Three Gorges Reservoir Area was dominated by a farming landscape but has been the target of restorative land management schemes over recent decades, wherein croplands have been converted to forests or citrus woodlands run by commercial enterprises or,

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.
