DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoleng.2019.105664
Abstract: Abstract Stability of soil aggregates, playing a significant role in soil quality, has been greatly impacted by wetting-drying cycles. Yet, determinants in stabilizing soil aggregate structure have been rarely clarified under the hydrological stress. Therefore,… read more here.
