Abstract

Assesses the impact of agricultural land use history on macro-aggregate stability in layers of Chromic and 'Hydromorphic' vertisols in north Cameroon. How macroaggregate stability to water drop impact was determined; Data indicating the existence of a hierarchy of aggregation; Results suggesting slash and burn land use on zero-tilled vertisols significantly increased sand-sized organic carbon content and the stability of macroaggregates to water impact.
