Shrinkage of microaggregates in Brazilian Latosols during drying: significance of the clay content, mineralogy and hydric stress history

2009-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Latosols (Oxisols, Ferralsols) are characterized by a poor soil horizon differentiation, with a strong microgranular structure formed by microaggregates 50 to 300 μm in size. This microgranular structure is generally considered to be very stable and the shrinkage properties of microaggregates as poor or absent. The objective of our study was to analyse the shrinkage properties of microaggregates in diagnostic Bw h...
