Read MoreSoil is a highly significant resource for human survival, and agglomerates, as the basic unit of the soil structure, not only enhance the soil fertility and control the biological validity of nutrients but also strengthen the soil's erosion resistance. The mass application of fertilizers may significantly affect crop growth and the soil structure, and the rational …
Read MoreSoil aggregate stability is an important aspect of soil function and health. Fertilization could potentially alter soil properties and thereby affect aggregate stability. To determine which fertilizer is useful for improving soil fertility and stabilizing soil aggregates and thereby reducing soil erodibility, we examined three types of fertilizer, and measured …
Read MoreAbstract. Aggregate stability is a commonly used indicator of soil health because improvements in aggregate stability are related to reduced erodibility and improved soil–water dynamics. During the past 80 to 90 years, numerous methods have been developed to assess aggregate stability.

Read MoreAggregate stability can affect a wide range of soil properties, including organic C stabilization, soil porosity, water infiltration, aeration, compactibility, water retention, hydraulic conductivity, resistance to erosion by water and overland flow. Maintaining high stability of soil aggregate is essential for preserving soil productivity ...
Read MoreAggregate stability. Aggregate stability determines how resistant a soil structure is to mechanical or physico-chemical destructive forces, and how sensitive to water and wind erosion. It can be measured by sieving a soil sample and determining how quickly it falls apart, and how small the fractions are. The easier the aggregates fall apart ...
Read MoreThis paper reviews the different methods of measurement of soil aggregate stability used in the literature, paying attention to the conditions of sample collection in the field and sample preparation and treatmen's conditions. ABSTRACT Soil aggregate stability is a crucial soil property affecting soil sustainability and crop production. A …
Read MoreSoil aggregate stability is an important measure for the evaluation of soil structural quality. Several methodologies have been developed to assess aggregate stability in a destructive manner which has proved very useful and accurate. The study of aggregate formation and stability has received great attention in the last few decades, …
