incubation temperatures resulted in mostly lower aggregate yields,
hinting at an increased mineralization of aggregate binding agents.
The temperature sensitivity of the decomposition intensity was
satisfactorily understood through modelling and was found to be
highest for manure and lowest for biochar. Correlations between
aggregate yields and CO2 flux or microbial C hint at a direct
interaction of soil particles with the organic amendments and a
subsequent decomposition of the substrates producing microbial
products acting as aggregate binding agents
