Macroaggregates were more stable in native soil than in cultivated soil. In both soils, more C, N, and P were present in macroaggregates than in microaggregates.text/plainen-USIn CopyrightSoilSoil nutrientsMicroaggregatesMacroaggregatesCarbonNitrogenPhosphorusAggregate structureEcosystem Field ScaleAggregate structure and carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus in native and cultivated soilAbstractCopyright 1986 Soil Science Society of America
