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 structure refers to the organisation of primary particles into aggregates, whose stability determines the soil’s capacity to withstand disruptive forces such as raindrop impact, wetting–drying ...

Predicted climate warming and prolonged droughts pose a threat to the soil structure as organic carbon losses weaken the stability of soil aggregates. Well-structured soils are important for storage ...

A global study has revealed that mineral-associated organic matter (MAOM) serves as the most stable long-term reservoir of carbon across diverse ecosystems, providing new insights into how carbon ...

While traditional soil testing has focused on chemistry, a growing range of tools are now available to help farmers assess the biological and structural function of soils. Soil health relies on the ...
