Abstract

Highlights• Four common indicators of aggregate stability were assessed across North America• Aggregate stability indicators were moderately correlated with each other• All indicators were influenced by inherent soil properties and climate• Indicators were sensitive to tillage, cover crops, organic amendments, and residue• Indicator responses to tillage were correlated with other soil health indicators

Keywords: Aggregate stability, Soil health, tillage, Cover crops, organic amendments, indicators
