Differential impacts of land use regimes on soil aggregate stability and aggregate-associated organic carbon sequestration in semi-arid Vertisols by Patience Ponyane, Ferdinand J. Dina Ebouel, Peter N. Eze, Peter N. Eze

“…Here, the impacts of different land use regimes (arable land, grassland exclosures, natural exclosures, and pastures) on aggregate stability and soil organic carbon contents were investigated in the semi-arid Vertisols of the Pandamatenga Plains – an important regional agricultural hotspot in Botswana. Soil samples were collected at three depths (0-15, 15-30, and 30–45 cm) and fractionated into macroaggregates (> 0.25 mm) and microaggregates (< 0.25 mm) using the wet sieving method. …”
