The functions of soils are intimately linked to their three‐dimensional pore space and the
associated biogeochemical interfaces, mirrored in the complex structure that developed …

Although rock disintegration has been well studied, much less is known for the residual soils
decomposed from the parent rocks. Weathering affects every aspect of residual soil …

Land use and its transformation significantly affect the soil detachment capacity (Dc) by
changing soil properties and altering root characteristics, but few studies have been …

The stability of soil aggregates is regarded as the key factor for soil erosion resistance on cut
slopes of engineering works in serious debris flow disaster areas. Information on the stability …

The loss of fertile topsoil caused by erosion leads to the relative change of soil profile
configuration, which consequently leads to a series of changes in soil properties. These …

Soil aggregate breakdown is the first key factor that causes soil erosion. At present, research
on the mechanisms of soil aggregate breakdown during rainfall is common. However, the …

Abstract Agriculture is responsible for 30–50% of the yearly CO 2, CH 4, and N 2 O
emissions. Soils have an important role in the production and consumption of these …

Vegetation restoration is an effective means to increase the stability of aggregates and the
ability of soil to resist erosion. At present, there are few studies on soil aggregate stability in …

In this study, the particle size distribution (PSD) of the soil sediment from topsoil obtained
from soil erosion experiments under different conditions was measured. Rainfall simulators …

It is of great significance to determine soil aggregate stability in predicting agricultural
production conditions and soil erosion risk. However, the problem exposed in the process of …
