Land-use change has been shown to affect soil quality and may lead to soil degradation. The effects of land land-use change from natural forest to tea farming on soil properties and quality were studied within the ...

Soil aggregate size distribution and structure stability are important soil physical quality indices. The objective of this study was to quantify soil structure stability as a result of land-use conversion from forest to ...

Soil structure and aggregate stability are critical soil properties affecting water infiltration, root growth, and resistance to soil and wind erosion. Changes in aggregate stability may be early indicators of soil ...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of land use change on soil properties in six different sites of Guilan province, northern Iran. The study sites were deforested approximately 40 years ago and ...

Soil structural condition and stability are critical soil physical properties subjected to dynamic changes which, in turn, alter soil hydraulic and transport properties. Water storage and flow in soils depend, to a large ...

he effect of land use type on soil function within an ecosystem can be assessed and monitored using soil quality indices. The research examined effects of land use change from natural forest to tea farming (with the same ...
