Abstract
Soil aggregation is an important part of influencing the soil behaviors in reducing rainfall-runoff and soil erosion, aeration, infiltration, and root penetration. Some inorganic materials such as clay minerals, Fe and Al oxides/hydroxides, and calcium carbonate can act as cementing agents within macroaggregates. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of different cementing agents (Fe, Mn, and Al) on soil aggregate formation in reclaimed tidelands. Water stable aggregate ratio and MWD (mean weight diameter) were higher in iron dioxides treatment than two other treatments. This result indicates significant correlation between soil aggregate formation and iron dioxides.
