Abstract:Soil wet aggregate stability is widely measured for soil health ratings, and two mobile applications have been recently developed that provide simple and fast measurements of wet aggregate stability on three pea‐sized soil aggregates. However, techniques are needed to scale the test to make it practical for studies with large sample numbers. Here, we describe an approach to measure 10‐min slaking index on 20–36 aggregates simultaneously using a multi‐well plate and automated image analysis. We used this approa… Show more
