Perspectives on the misconception of levitating soil aggregates [PDF]
SOIL, 2023 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 ...

The role of conservation soil management on soil and water protection at different spatial scales [PDF]
, 2006 Agriculture has a direct impact on the soil environment, altering soil properties, surface characteristics and erosion risk. This has led to a move away from conventional tillage to the adoption of conservation practices, aiming to minimise soil ...

Emerging threats to the stability of soil aggregates [PDF]
, 2021 Soil aggregates are clusters of soil particles, supporting the soil physical structure. Soil aggregation is key to the functions of ecosystem, including aeration, water infiltration and storage, nutrient cycling, and the pore system. This doctoral work

Soil biota contributions to soil aggregation [PDF]
Nature 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.

Fungal Traits Important for Soil Aggregation [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Soil structure, the complex arrangement of soil into aggregates and pore spaces, is a key feature of soils and soil biota. Among them, filamentous saprobic fungi have well-documented effects on soil aggregation. However, it is unclear what properties, or traits, determine the overall positive effect of fungi on soil aggregation. To achieve progress, it

THE RELATIONSHIP OF POLYSACCHARIDES TO SOIL AGGREGATION [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Soil Science, 1963 Studies were conducted on two soil types to determine whether variations in level of aggregation, induced by adding wheat straw were accompanied by significant changes in the polysaccharide content of the soils.The addition of finely ground wheat straw to the soils, followed by varying periods of incubation, markedly improved the level of aggregation ...

Causes clarification of the soil aggregates stability on mulched soil
Soil and Water Research, 2022 Soil aggregates have great effects on soil properties and soil functions. Mulching (organic inputs) has been known as a factor influencing soil aggregate stability.

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