Contributions of mineral and organic cement agents to soil aggregation under potato production in Eastern Canada
Soil aggregation, a critical determinant of soil health and quality, results from the bonding of soil particles by various cementing agents, such as soil organic carbon, biota, ionic bridging, clay, and carbonates. This process varies across soil profiles due to agricultural practices and weathering disturbances. In this study, we analyzed the contribution of different cementing agents to soil aggregation within three soil horizons (Ap1, Ap2, and B) in potato production in Eastern Canada. We collected soil samples from 29 sites in Quebec Province for aggregate-size distribution analysis and cementing agent determination. Our findings reveal variations in aggregate proportions among the horizons, with horizon B exhibiting a smaller proportion of 2–4.75 mm aggregates (10.42%) compared to horizons Ap1 and Ap2 (20.28% and 18.71%, respectively). The hierarchy of cementing agents' impact on soil aggregation ranks polyvalent metals as the most influential, followed by organic matter (C&N) and silts and clays. However, accurately estimating aggregate stability through regression analysis based on these selected cementing agents remains challenging.
期刊介绍:
Applied Geochemistry is an international journal devoted to publication of original research papers, rapid research communications and selected review papers in geochemistry and urban geochemistry which have some practical application to an aspect of human endeavour, such as the preservation of the environment, health, waste disposal and the search for resources. Papers on applications of inorganic, organic and isotope geochemistry and geochemical processes are therefore welcome provided they meet the main criterion. Spatial and temporal monitoring case studies are only of interest to our international readership if they present new ideas of broad application.
Topics covered include: (1) Environmental geochemistry (including natural and anthropogenic aspects, and protection and remediation strategies); (2) Hydrogeochemistry (surface and groundwater); (3) Medical (urban) geochemistry; (4) The search for energy resources (in particular unconventional oil and gas or emerging metal resources); (5) Energy exploitation (in particular geothermal energy and CCS); (6) Upgrading of energy and mineral resources where there is a direct geochemical application; and (7) Waste disposal, including nuclear waste disposal.
