Influence of slaking on the size distributions of water‐stable aggregates
Soil Science Society of America Journal, 2022Abstract Wet sieving is a common practice used to treat soil samples before analyses. However, slaking might occur during wet sieving, and this significantly affects analytical accuracy. To minimize side effects caused by slaking, we treated soils with ethanol and investigated the resulting efficiencies. Soil aggregates from the black

Surface versus incorporated residue effects on water-stable aggregates
Soil and Tillage Research, 2007Abstract Reduced tillage methods for field crop production result in less disruption of soil structure and often increased amounts of crop residue maintained on the soil surface. The combination of these two factors produces increased surface soil aggregation.

Water‐Stable Aggregation in Relation to the Normalized Stability Index
Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis, 2009In spite of the good quality of soils in Hungary, soil structure is deteriorated by intensive tillage. Because of general dissimilarities between field and laboratory circumstances and therefore lack of comparability, the former results are questionable.

Soil organic matter, air encapsulation and water‐stable aggregation
Journal of Soil Science, 1990SUMMARY A re‐interpretation of published data shows: firstly, that the hydrophobic properties of soil organic matter can increase the amount of air encapsulation within soil materials during water uptake; and secondly, that this increased air encapsulation can reduce water uptake rates sufficiently to prevent slaking.

Soil Microbial Biomass and Mineralizable Carbon of Water‐Stable Aggregates
Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1997Abstract Biophysical alterations of agricultural soils following adoption of zero tillage (ZT) deserve investigation in order to better understand the processes of soil organic C (SOC) sequestration and turnover.

Light Fraction Carbon and Water-Stable Aggregates in Black Soils
Pedosphere, 2007Abstract The distribution of light fraction carbon (LF-C) in the various size classes of aggregates and its relationship to waterstable aggregates as well as the influence of cultivation on the organic components in virgin and cultivated black soils were studied by wet sieving and density separation methods.

Changes during winter in water‐stable aggregation due to crop residue quality
Soil Use and Management, 2012Abstract There is a need to develop practices that contribute to increased water‐stable aggregation (WSA) during winter in a humid temperate climate when soil is particularly prone to water erosion. Our objectives were to determine the effects of crop residue quality on WSA during winter and to relate these effects to biochemical ...

Effect of Sodium Ion on Synthetic Water‐stable Aggregates
Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1952Abstract Particles of diameter <0.15µ were separated from Hesperia sandy loam (micaceous soil) and electrodialyzed. Proper quantities of 0.1 N NaOH were added to the electrodialzed suspensions so that the symmetry‐concentrations, S, of Na +

Dissolved organic matter may induce water-stable aggregates in various soil textures
2022<p>The interactions between mineral particles and soil organic matter (SOM) are an important factor for soil structure formation. Percolating dissolved organic matter (DOM) from upper soil horizons is considered an important input pathway of organic carbon (OC) into subsoils. While DOM sorption processes have been extensively studied, the
