Soil aggregates as massively concurrent evolutionary incubators. [PDF]

open access: yesISME J, 2017
Soil aggregation, a key component of soil structure, has mostly been examined from the perspective of soil management and the mediation of ecosystem processes such as soil carbon storage.

Vulnerability of soil aggregates in relation to soil properties [PDF]

open access: yesPlant, Soil and Environment, 2002
Stability of soil structure represents an indicator of soil quality. The aim of this paper was to assess the effect of soil properties on structure vulnerability in an Orthic Luvisol.

Soil aggregate size influences the impact of inorganic nitrogen deposition on soil nitrification in an alpine meadow of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2020
Background Ammonium (NH4+) and nitrate (NO3−) are two inorganic forms of nitrogen (N) that are deposited from the atmosphere into soil systems. As the substrate and product of soil nitrification, these two forms of inorganic nitrogen will affect or be ...

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.

Fungal Traits Important for Soil Aggregation [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers 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

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 ...

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 ...

Microbial community assembly in soil aggregates: A dynamic interplay of stochastic and deterministic processes

open access: yesAgriculture, Ecosystems & Environment. Applied Soil Ecology, 2021
Understanding how distinct processes operate in mediating community assembly is a long-standing theme in (microbial) ecology. Particularly in soil microbial communities, we still lack a fundamental appreciation of how assembly processes structure ...

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.
