Use of vector method to evaluate the effect of land use and soil parent material on aggregate stability in the red soil zone of southern China

Context As a dominant factor influencing soil erosion, soil aggregate stability is likely to be closely associated with land use and soil parent material in the red soil region of southern China. However, few studies have comprehensively examined how land use and soil parent material jointly influence the stability of soil aggregates. Aim This study aimed to evaluate the synergistic impact of land use and soil parent material on soil aggregate stability. Method Soil samples were collected from 0
