Abstract: The release and stability of soil water-dispersible colloids (WDC) in the soil structure are critical for colloid-facilitated soil organic carbon sequestration and contaminants transport. In this study, the potential effects of temperature and associated organic carbon (OC) on the release of WDCs in three silt loam topsoils with the same clay content (~ 20%) under different land uses were investigated. A soil fractionation method was used for simulating the release of colloids from the soil under environmental conditions where mobilization and sedimentation processes occur sequentially. The surface loading of OC has been characterized by the analysis of organic carbon content of WDC with the measurements of the specific surface area (SSA). The effects of fractionation temperature on colloidal properties (e.g., particle size and zeta potential) were systematically investigated and the aggregation kinetics of WDC in salt electrolyte influenced by temperature was assessed by dynamic light scattering (DLS).
