Andic soils contain a large amount of stabilised soil organic matter (SOM). The present study
aims to review and integrate the determining factors and mechanisms of SOM stabilisation in …

The Andes region, a unique high-mountain environment, includes a wide variety of
ecosystems. A significant portion of the population depends on soil ecosystem services that …

The study was conducted to investigate the effects of slope gradient and land use change on
soil structural stability, and soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) pools in …

Aggregate hierarchy, a fundamental soil feature controlling various physical and
biogeochemical processes, is well-studied for soils dominated by crystalline minerals but not …

Andisols are soils with high structural development and aggregate stability, characteristics
that play a major role in their high infiltration rate. They are, however, vulnerable to …

Abstract Background and Aims Knowledge about the effect of land use change on soil
organic carbon (OC) in semiarid grassland is essential for understanding C cycles and for …

Given its singular properties and location, forest floor (litter+ duff) is a key factor in
hydrological processes. Water infiltration research was carried out for the present study in …

Soil structure is an important physical property of soil and has a great impact on the
environment and agriculture. Dry aggregate size distribution and related soil structure …

Extreme sensitivity of soil organic carbon (SOC) to climate and land use change warrants
further research in different terrestrial ecosystems. The aim of this study was to investigate …

Soil structure dependent properties are normally dynamic due to different processes
occurring in the soil. However, in classic hydraulic modelling these interactions are …
