Evaluation of methods for determining soil aggregate stability
2017年4月1日 Consequently efforts to standardise assessment of aggregate stability are not supported. Researchers should rather consider use of multiple methods and moisture pre-treatments, with adjustment of test duration to achieve 40–60% aggregate breakdown in order to best reveal differences between sites or treatments. If a single test is to be ...
