abstract = {Several beneficial soil functions are linked to aggregates,
but how the formation and stability depend on the presence
of colloidal- and nanosized (1000–1 nm) bulding blocks is
still understood poorly. Here, we sampled subsites from an
arable toposequence with 190 and 340 g kg−1 clay, and
isolated small soil microaggregates (SMA; <20 µm) from
larger macroaggregate units (>250 µm) using an ultrasonic
dispersion energy of 60, 250, and 440 J mL−1,
respectively. We then allowed these small SMA to
reaggregated after chemical removal of organic carbon (OC)
as well as of Fe- and Al (hydr)oxides, respectively. The
size distribution of the reaggregated small SMA and fine
colloids (<0.45 µm) was analyzed via laser diffraction and
asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation coupled to
inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and organic
carbon detection, respectively. We found elevated amounts of
both finer colloids and stable SMA at subsites with higher
clay contents. The size distribution of small SMA was
composed of two distinctive fractions including colloids and
larger microaggregates with an average size of 5 µm. The
removal of Fe with Dithionite-Citrate-Bicarbonate (DCB)
shifted the size of the small SMA to a larger equivalent
diameter, while removal of OC with NaOCl reduced it. After
three wetting and drying cycles, the concentration of
colloids declined, whereas the small SMA without chemical
pre-treatments reaggregated to particles with larger average
diameters up to 10 µm, with the size depending on the clay
content. Intriguingly, this gain in size was more pronounced
after Fe removal, but it was not affected by OC removal. We
suggest that Fe (hydr)oxides impacts the stability of small
SMA primarily by being present in small-sized pores and thus
cementing the aggregates to smaller size. In contrast, the
effect of OC was restricted to the size of colloids, gluing
them together to small SMAs within defined size ranges when
OC was present but releasing these colloids when OC was
absent.},
