17 Aggregate Stability and Size
An aggregate is a group of primary particles that cohere to each other more strongly than to other surrounding soil particles. Most adjacent particles adhere to some degree. Therefore, disintegration of the soil mass into aggregates requires imposition of a disrupting force. Stability of aggregates is a function of whether the cohesive forces between particles withstand the applied disruptive f...
متن کاملDetermination of Agricultural Sulfur Effects on the Soil Structure Using Fractal Geometery and Aggregate Stability Indices
Due to unsuitable soil physical conditions, calcareous soils, and the existence of a huge amount of sulfur in the country, the study of sulfur effects on the soil structure and other soil properties is necessary. Therefore, the effects of different rates of sulfur including: 0, 750, 1500 and 3000 kg/ha, when accompanied by Halothiobacillus neapolitanus bacteria, on the soil properties in the co...
متن کاملAgroforestry Influences on Soil Aggregate Stability and Enzyme Activity
INTRODUCTION: The percentage of water stable aggregates (WSA) is a measure of resistance to breakdown by water and mechanical activities. Water stable aggregates improve soil water and air movement. Macro-aggregates (diam. > 250 m) are considered as a secondary soil structure associated with pores, microbial habitat, and physical protection of organic matter (Christensen, 2001; Carter, 2004). A...
متن کاملAggregate Stability and Water Retention near Saturation Characteristics as Affected by Soil Texture, Aggregate Size and Polyacrylamide Application
Understanding the effects of soil intrinsic properties and extrinsic conditions on aggregate stability is essential for the development of effective soil and water conservation practices. Our objective was to evaluate the combined role of soil texture, aggregate size and application of a stabilizing agent on aggregate and structure stability indices (composite structure index [SI], the α and n ...
متن کاملaggregate distribution of organic c, l-glutaminase activity and aggregate stability as affected by slope position
the location of extracellular enzyme activities in soil aggregates can be influenced by slope position. this study aims to determine the effect of slope position on aggregate distribution of organic c and l-glutaminase activity. the soils were collected from different slope positions (shoulder, backslope, footslope and toeslope) at two pasture ecosystems (fereydoonshahr and chelgerd, central ir...
