Description
Standardized wet sieving method using Yoder device to determine soil aggregate size distributions. Measures water-stable aggregates across multiple size classes to assess soil structure.
Typical Equipment
- Dickson apparatus
- Yoder device
- sieves (#4, 10, 17, 70)
- 2 g L⁻¹ HMP solution
Output Measurements
- aggregate size distribution
- geometric mean diameter
- fine aggregate fraction
