Soil aggregation arises from the binding of mineral particles into multi-scale units driven by microbial exudates, organic matter fractions and physical forces. The hierarchical structure, from ...

Soil aggregation is the process by which individual mineral particles and organic matter coalesce into larger, stable units that shape pore architecture, water retention and resistance to erosion.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is one of the most dramatically affected regions by global warming. For a long time, the region has been exposed by low temperature and soil moisture, which led to the severe ...

The Soil Health Institute recently announced the release of a free phone application, Slakes, to empower and engage citizens around the world to measure aggregate stability: one of the most common ...

Soil aggregates are groups of individual soil particles that bind to each other more strongly than adjacent particles. Aggregates that don’t fall apart and revert to individual soil particles when ...

A centuries-old concept in soil science has recently been thrown out. Yet it remains a key ingredient in everything from climate models to advanced carbon-capture projects. The hope was that the soil ...
