Abstract

As the basic units of soil structure, soil aggregate is essential for maintaining soil stability. Intensified freeze–thaw cycles have deeply affected the size distribution and stability of aggregate under global warming. To date, it is still lacking about the effects of freeze–thaw cycles on aggregate in the permafrost regions of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP). Therefore, we investigated the effects of diurnal and seasonal freeze–thaw processes on soil aggregate. Our results showed that the durations of thawing and freezing periods in the 0–10 cm layer were longer than in the 10–20 cm layer
