Investigating Factors Affecting Stability of Volcanic Ash Soil Aggregates under Heat

Overview
Volcanic ash soil aggregates can be disaggregated using heat under wet conditions. This study aimed to investigate factors affecting the disaggregation of volcanic ash soil aggregates in a field with organic cattle manure (M plot) and a field with chemical fertilizer (F plot) that were exposed to heat. The two-step wet sieving method, in which aggregates were sieved twice at different water temperatures for different times, was used to investigate the disaggregation caused by heat. It was found that increasing the temperature during the second sieve was more effective in disaggregating aggregates than extending the second-step sieve time. When the water temperature was increased to 80 °C, macroaggregates became more vulnerable, especially those in the F plot. The total carbon (TC) remaining in the soil aggregates was also measured after sieving. Although the TC content in aggregates decreased after sieving, there was only a minor relationship between decreasing TC content and the degree of disaggregation. This suggests that aggregates were not disaggregated by eluting binding agents containing carbon contents, but by partial breakage of the binding agent and/or the peeling of particles with binding agents from the aggregates.
