The Influence of Organic Matter on Soil Aggregation and Water Infiltration
Abstract
The unimpeded flow of water down through the soil is essential to agricultural production. Intensive cultivation can disrupt soil structure and restrict infiltration, which results in inefficient water and land use. In this review, the effects of organic matter on soil aggregation and water infiltration are discussed at several levels. Organic amendments (manure, plant residue, and synthetic polymers) are reported to increase soil organic matter (fulvic acids, humic acids, and polysaccharides) which binds soil particles together into aggregates. When soil structure is improved through aggregation, the resulting pore size distribution favors the downward flow of water in soil (infiltration). Mechanisms that link these components (e.g., organic amendments, polysaccharide production, aggregate formation, and increased infiltration) are suggested and management options that improve water infiltration rates are proposed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
