Abstract
AbstractAggregate stability is considered to be an appropriate indicator of the relative resistance of soils to detachment by the forces of wind or water. Structural weakness and high rates of erosion in red yellow podzolic (RYP) soils of Matara district are, in general, discussed as prominent problems in intermediate scale agricultural estates. The present study was conducted to ascertain the impacts incurred on the stability of soil aggregates by the alteration of natural forests to agricultural lands, using tea, rubber, and tea/rubber intercropping soils. Surface soils were taken to assess the wet and dry aggregate stabilities, bulk density (Db), clay content, and soil organic carbon (SOC) content. The Db of rubber (1.62 g cm
