Investigating the influence of soil organic carbon on pore structure within aggregates by Jingjing Liu, Yu Tian, Chiara Pasut, Mark Farrell, Shenggao Lu

“…SOC depletion led to consistent changes in pore volume across soil types, but the changes in pore shape distribution varied between Cambisols and Ultisols. In Cambisols, SOC removal was associated with more pronounced shifts in pore morphology, whereas Ultisols showed more heterogeneous responses, likely due to differing mineralogical properties. …”
