TL;DR: This review collates and synthesizes the research on the adsorption, distribution, and migration of heavy metal(loid)s in soil particles, and explores the relationships among the soil aggregates, organic matter, heavy metals, and soil microorganisms.

TL;DR: In this article, the individual and combined effects of phyllosilicate minerals and their interaction with other soil properties on aggregate stability and breakdown mechanisms were quantified by X-ray diffraction and a series of soil properties related to porosity, texture, organic matter, sesquioxides, and exchangeable cations.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of Melinis minutifora and Chrysopogon zizanioides on slope erosion, and the contributions of canopy, biocrusts, and roots were investigated via rainfall simulation experiments.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of erosion-induced land degradation on the erosion process from the aspect of sediment size characteristics, which may not only indicate aggregate breakdown and sediment transport mechanism, but also influence sediment deposition, were studied under field rainfall simulation on five types of soils.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of the soil properties on the soil organic carbon (SOC) stability were evaluated via redundancy analysis, and the results showed that the eroding and depositional sites had different organic contents but had similar organic functional groups, whereas the eroded soils were more stable than that in the deposited soils, but this difference was only observed in the surface layers (0-5 and 5-10 cm).
