RELATING LOSS OF SOIL FERTILITY TO WATER AGGREGATE STABILITY AND NUTRIENT AVAILABILITY IN MOUNTAIN AGRICULTURAL CALCARIC SOILS

RELATING LOSS OF SOIL FERTILITY TO WATER AGGREGATE STABILITY AND NUTRIENT AVAILABILITY IN MOUNTAIN AGRICULTURAL CALCARIC SOILS

We investigated the topsoil from some mountain Regosols for their nutrient status and loss of fertility due to aggregate breakdown, establishing also the relationship between the nutrient losses, the soil characteristics and the aggregates stability. The aggregate stability varied from 57 to 80%. Th...
