Application of a novel method for soil aggregate stability measurement by laser granulometry with sonication [PDF]
, 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

Soil Physico-Chemical Properties Change Across an Urbanity Gradient in Berlin
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021 In this study the impacts of urbanity on physical soil properties were explored by measuring water stable aggregates, combined particle size, infiltration rate and hydrophobicity across an urban gradient.

Effect of PEG on rheology and stability of nanocrystalline titania hydrosols [PDF]
, 2009 Very stable titania hydrosols were prepared by fast hydrolysis of titanium isopropoxide in a large excess of water. XRD patterns show that these sols contain nanocrystals (5–6 nm) of anatase (70%) and brookite (30%).

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2023 The formation of soil aggregates, including water-stable aggregates, is linked to soil organic matter (SOM). Biochar (B) is carbon-rich, which, in addition to storing carbon in a stable form for many years, has important benefits for soils and plants ...

Stability of soil aggregates and their ability of carbon sequestration
Soil and Water Research, 2014 One of the most important binding agents for forming stable aggregates is a soil organic matter (SOM), which can be retained in various size fractions of aggregates. If aggregates are water-resistant, they retain more carbon.

A method for determining water stable aggregate of paddy soils [PDF]
Soil Science and Plant Nutrition, 1957 Abstract Introduction Recently, it has been found that the physical properties of paddy soil are of great importance to rice-production. There is extensive literature on the chemical properties of paddy soils, but little information on the physical properties of paddy soils, especially of soils under waterlogged condition.

Microplastic Shape, Polymer Type, and Concentration Affect Soil Properties and Plant Biomass
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Microplastics may enter the soil in a wide range of shapes and polymers. However, little is known about the effects that microplastics of different shapes, polymers, and concentration may have on soil properties and plant performance. To address this, we
