Effect of long-term tillage on soil aggregates and aggregate-associated carbon in black soil of Northeast China. [PDF]
Soil tillage can affect the stability and formation of soil aggregates by disrupting soil structure. Frequent tillage deteriorates soil structure and weakens soil aggregates, causing them to be susceptible to decay.
