Fractal Dimension of Coastal Soil Aggregates and Its Relationship with Physical and Chemical Soil Properties

open access: yesGuan'gai paishui xuebao, 2021
【Objective and objective】 Soil aggregate is a function unit commonly used to describe the impact of soil structure on soil fertility and quality. It is temporally dynamic, modulated by a myriad of biotic and abiotic factors such as wetting-drying cycles ...

Soil biota contributions to soil aggregation [PDF]

open access: yesNature Ecology & Evolution, 2017
Humankind depends on the sustainability of soils for its survival and well-being. Threatened by a rapidly changing world, our soils suffer from degradation and biodiversity loss, making it increasingly important to understand the role of soil biodiversity in soil aggregation-a key parameter for soil sustainability.

Stoichiometric characteristics drive the soil aggregate stability after 5 years of vegetation restoration in China

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Soil stoichiometric characteristics and aggregate stability are affected by vegetation restoration in degraded land. Yet, it is not known that how the aggregate stability is related to soil stoichiometric characteristics under different vegetation ...

Soil Enzyme Activities Affect SOC and TN in Aggregate Fractions in Sodic-Alkali Soils, Northeast of China

open access: yesAgronomy, 2022
Soil enzymes strongly affect soil organic carbon (SOC) and nitrogen (TN) storage. However, few studies have focused on their relationships in aggregates, especially in sodic-alkali agricultural fields.

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 ...

Topsoil and Deep Soil Organic Carbon Concentration and Stability Vary with Aggregate Size and Vegetation Type in Subtropical China. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
The impact of reforestation on soil organic carbon (OC), especially in deep layer, is poorly understood and deep soil OC stabilization in relation with aggregation and vegetation type in afforested area is unknown.

Perspectives on the misconception of levitating soil aggregates [PDF]

open access: yesSOIL
Soil aggregation is an important process in nearly all soils across the globe. Aggregates develop over time through a series of abiotic and biotic processes and interactions, including plant growth and decay, microbial activity, plant and microbial ...

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
